Harriet's Journey Home
Discovering Harriet
"Discovering Harriet" is written and illustrated by the 7th grade history class, at Maces Lane Middle School, instructed by Mr. John Kahl.
This project was solely the students idea to help raise funds for the Harriet's Journey Home fundraiser. The cover illustration was done by Mr. Charles Ross, a direct descendant of Harriet Tubman!
Our fundraising goal is to raise $250,000 to commission and install an 11-foot bronze statue of Harriet Tubman on the Dorchester County Courthouse lawn. These young students exemplify, initiative, leadership, creativity and social responsibility; Alpha Genesis CDC is PROUD to have them on our fundraising team as we all cheer Harriet's Journey Home!!
Thank you for supporting our students!

Dorchester County Courthouse
While other cities are tearing down monuments, we are building our own!
This site is where our enslaved ancestors were auction and Harriet's niece Kissah was infamously recused!
A sculptor of Harriet Tubman is befitting and long over due!
This watercolor rendering was created by Herve Hamon and Midge Ingersol
