Harriet Tubman, freedom fighting in Cape May

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

This year for the first time ever, Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the US, was recognized as a federal holiday. Juneteenth this year also marked the opening of the much anticipated Harriet Tubman Museum down in Cape May, New Jersey. We all know who Harriet Tubman was, and the work she did helping enslaved African Americans find freedom in the mid-1800’s, but did you know she had a connection to Cape May, or that Cape May was a hotbed of anti-slavery activity? Cynthia Mullock, executive director of the Harriet Tubman Museum is on the podcast to talk about Harriet Tubman's life and legacy and the role Cape May played in her mission.
