Harriet Tubman statue unveiled at City Hall

The city of Philadelphia unveiled a nine-foot statue of Harriet Tubman Tuesday morning in front of City Hall.

The “Journey to Freedom” sculpture will be displayed now through Mar. 31.

“It’s an honor to celebrate the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman here in Philadelphia,” said Mayor Jim Kenney. “Telling these stories through public art is vital for learning and reflection, connecting with our communities, and understanding our histories. I am particularly proud that the City of Philadelphia is hosting the temporary installation of Harriet Tubman on the North apron of City Hall.”
