CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) – A bronze sculpture paying tribute to famed abolitionist Harriet Tubman has arrived in Charleston.
The nine-foot-tall display of Tubman depicts her leading a young girl to freedom and will be on display in the breezeway of the International African American Museum.
The exhibit is titled “The Journey to Freedom,” and it has been traveling city-to-city since 2020.
Wesley Wofford, the artist who commissioned the sculpture, traveled to Charleston for its installation.
“Tubman personifies a role model and hero, and we are proud to commemorate the resilience and contributions of strong women throughout history,” Wofford said.
The sculpture will be at the museum until the middle of December.
