Philadelphia, we're inviting you to be part of something lasting.
Creative Philadelphia is proud to present "In Harriet's Footsteps", a citywide call for residents on the enduring legacy of Harriet Tubman and what her courage means for our city today.
Deadline: March 1, 11:59 p.m.
We're asking Philadelphians to submit an original quote answering: " What does it mean to walk in Harriet Tubman's footsteps today?"
One selected quote will be permanently inscribed on the base of the upcoming Harriet Tubman statue, designed by Alvin Pettit and installed at Philadelphia City Hall in Fall 2026.
This is an opportunity to:
Honor Harriet Tubman's legacy of courage and resistance.
Connect our shared history to the future we're building.
Become part of Philadelphia's cultural history.
All Philadelphia residents are encouraged to participate.
Submissions are open now: bit.ly/3ZhkJ6G
Let's walk in Harriet's footsteps, together.
