In this episode, we journey to Auburn, New York, to explore the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman at one of the most significant landmarks tied to her story — the Thompson Memorial AME Zion Church, Harriet’s home church and the place where her funeral was held in 1913.
We sit down with Brittany Lane, Lead Park Ranger for the Harriet Tubman National Historical Park, to discuss the powerful history of this sacred space, Harriet’s deep ties to the church, and how her spirit of freedom and resilience lives on today.
Discover how Harriet Tubman, an American hero and abolitionist, found community, peace, and purpose in Auburn—and how this site continues to educate and inspire generations.
