I want to go! Who wants to go with me?!?
Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park is where an American legend began. Born Araminta Ross in Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Tubman resisted her enslavement from an early age and ultimately escaped alone and on her own in 1849. She returned to the Eastern Shore at least 13 times and freed more than 70 people trying to keep family and friends from being separated due to enslavement. Tubman went on to aid the US Army during the Civil War and continued to advocate for the rights of African Americans, women, and Americans with disabilities after the war.
African American history is preserved and shared in many national parks with some being created as monuments to remember specific individuals in our nation's history. Explore national parks that were named after people and visit their websites to take a deeper look at their life's achievements, contributions, and lasting legacies.

Less than 16% of adults have the most recent COVID booster nationally. No wonder we are still in the midst of the pandemic. If you haven't yet gotten the latest booster, please do so. I'm tired of this mess.
