Maryland to unveil statues of Tubman, Douglass in Capitol
At a time when states are debating the removal of Confederate monuments, Maryland is adding bronze statues of two of the state's famous black historical figures to the Maryland State House.
The statues of abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass will be unveiled Monday night in the Old House Chamber, the room where slavery was abolished in Maryland in 1864.
"It's a really incredible, incredible, moment," Senate President Bill Ferguson said, as he told senators about the upcoming event last month.
