The Harriet Tubman Boosters are raising money to install this beautiful mural portraying Tubman's life from the Civil War through her 54 years living and working in Auburn, New York. Any donation will make an impact. You can get more information and donate at: https://gofund.me/861bd540 .
The cost to create and install the mural is approximately $40,000. We are over halfway there! Like Tubman, we will "keep going" until our goal is reached! Our Trailblazer Mural Donors--the 35 donors who have already contributed $100 or more--are receiving a 1st Edition signed and numbered 8x10 print of the mural artwork. Thanks to the generosity of artist Arthur Hutchinson and The Jacob’s Press (Auburn, NY), a 2nd and Final print run of one hundred signed and numbered 8x10 prints will be given to the next one hundred people who contribute $100 or more to the mural fund. Prints graciously donated by Jacob's Press.

The mission of the Harriet Tubman Boosters is to honor the life of Harriet Tubman and preserve her legacy for generations to come. The Boosters seeks to educate the public about Harriet Tubman’s courageous spirit that carried her from enslavement to freedom; her role as conductor on the Underground Railroad; her service during the Civil War, as nurse, scout, and spy; her activism for women’s suffrage; and her establishment of a home for the elderly and indigent in Auburn. Our hope is to illuminate Harriet Tubman’s lifelong dedication to civil rights, so that she may forever stand as a shining example for all who strive for justice, freedom, and peace. The Boosters seek to: a) Raise awareness of Harriet Tubman’s life and legacy through programs, publications and events, b) Work with local, state, and federal officials to honor the memory of Harriet Tubman, c) Encourage community dialogue and inspire civil rights activism, d) Advocate for greater inclusion of Harriet Tubman’s life story in public education.
