This year marks the 100 anniversary of Harriet Tubman’s death.

And Governor Jack Markell will present a proclamation at the Old State House for Harriet Tubman on March 1^st.

It is part of ten days that will lead up to the anniversary on March 10^th.

Events during that time include two separate walks in Camden and relays at the Wilmington Christina Riverwalk.
