The National Parks Service (NPS) has removed a reference to abolitionist Harriet Tubman from its webpage dedicated to the Underground Railroad.
For years, the Parks page on the Underground Railroad featured a prominent photo of Tubman.
The Underground Railroad the resistance to enslavement through escape and flight, through the end of the Civil War refers to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage, the page initially read.
Tubman, born into slavery in Maryland, escaped around 1849 after learning she and her brothers were to be sold. She would return to Marylands eastern shore more than a dozen times, leading many others to freedom and becoming perhaps the most famous conductor of the Underground Railroad.

doing what they were programmed to do.
Except to see Ms. Tubmans name restored with some lame ass excuse. It is like we
are back in the days of Jim Crow Laws and the Southern States proudly put up the
Confederate Stars and Bars as part of trying to take America back to the good old days
of state and nationally sponsored racism.

"Harriet Tubman was a deeply spiritual woman who lived her ideals and dedicated her life to freedom. She is the Underground Railroads best known conductor and before the Civil War repeatedly risked her life to guide 70 enslaved people north to new lives of freedom. This new national historical park preserves the same landscapes that Tubman used to carry herself and others away from slavery."

But, yeah, the "Black/White Cooperation" is mostly white wing BS.

There needs to be new Nuremberg Trials when democracy is restored.
