Three-year-old Lovie Hope Duncan wanted to give the mural depicting Tubman a high-five.
By Chris Kaltenbach May 24 at 5:12 PM CAMBRIDGE, Md. — The giant mural shows Harriet Tubman extending an encouraging hand to people walking by a Cambridge, Md., museum that preserves and showcases her legacy.
He chose the moment when she would reach out to a runaway slave, offering her hand to lead that man or woman to freedom. Many people have felt moved to comment, saying things like “Gave me chills,” “awesome,” “That’s all good stuff there” and “Infinite passing of the baton.”Lovie’s grandmother, Tracy Kilgore Lynndee, took the photo while the two of them were out for a walk last week.
The museum is looking to have a ceremony celebrating the mural, hopefully next month, said retired Prince George’s County educator William Jarmon, a member of the center’s board.
