Pathfinder of Liberty presents a striking portrayal of Harriet
Tubman, serving as a tribute to her unyielding determination and impactful
legacy. Capturing her resilience, resolve, and poise, this sculpture embodies
Harriet's compassion and steadfast dedication to the ideals of freedom and
fairness.
Clad in a delicate lace shawl
bestowed upon her by Queen Victoria, the sculpture honours Harriet's remarkable
accomplishments and global acclaim. The shawl, along with the unwavering
resolve etched on her countenance, narrates a tale of bravery and conviction.
The elegant inscription is designed to honour the
enduring spirit and legacy of Harriet Tubman. The following quote is
beautifully engraved in large print:
"Every great dream begins with a
dreamer."— Harriet Tubman
Below the quote, the same message is translated
into braille, ensuring that Tubman’s inspiring words are accessible to all. The
braille is meticulously integrated into the design, maintaining both
functionality and aesthetics.
With an aura of reverence, the sculpture exudes
admiration for Harriet's exceptional life journey. It stands as a poignant
reminder of her enduring influence and pivotal role in the struggle against
slavery and inequality.
