Next Tuesday, students in St. Catharines will officially welcome Harriet Tubman home to her namesake school.
That day, the school will unveil a life-size statue of the iconic freedom fighter created by former Niagara artists Frank Rekrut and Laura Thompson.
To finance the cost of the statue and transportation, the DSBN launched the “Bringing Harriet Home” campaign. Individuals, schools and organizations all contributed to the campaign.
