100 years ago today, Harriet Tubman died, leaving her legacy in
helping free the slaves. The NAACP of Bowling Green and Warren
County honored her life by walking around Downtown Bowling
Green, as she did on the Underground Railroad in the late 19th
century. Tubman made 19 trips back to the South, guiding more
than 300 slaves to freedom. NAACP Member Tamara Glass says it's
not only important to honor her because of her actions, but
because March is Women's History Month. "It was unusual for
women during that time to step forward and take a leadership
role because during that time women were not leaders," Glass
says. At 4:30 EST today, people all over the nation walked in
honor of Harriet Tubman.
