Every time I go to work, I pass the Harriet Tubman house and wish I could stop, but it's always closed when I'm passing it and I'm always in a rush anyway. Well today we went. I wish there was more in the way of secret hiding spots for runaway slaves and stuff, but I guess now that I think about it, they wouldn't have been that necessary in Auburn, NY. It was cool nonetheless and in the museum I read a poster about music that had an African proverb on it that I really liked:
"The Spirit will not descend without a song."
We also got to see where she was buried. There was a huge group of African American people dressed in white at the cemetery having some kind of ceremony to honor her. It was pretty awesome.
