Power Woman

Texas teen was told girls of color couldn't do well. She's graduating college at 14. Alena McQuarter isn’t like other teenagers.

She graduated from high school at 12 years old, made national headlines as the youngest person to intern at NASA, and is the youngest Black person to get accepted to medical school.

Now, she's just a few months away from graduating from college at the age of 14.

“When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in Heaven.” -Harriet Tubman

On this day, March 10, we celebrate the life and legacy of a giant of American history. March 10 is officially recognized as Harriet Tubman Day in the states of New York and Maryland, as it marks the anniversary of her death in 1913 and the approximate anniversary of her birth in 1822.
A staunch advocate of civil rights for women, particularly Black women, Tubman's selflessness and extraordinary courage led her to help people wherever and whenever she could.
Our sister park, Harriet Tubman National Historical Park in Auburn, New York, was established in 2017 to preserve her legacy and connected sites in Auburn. Next time you visit us in Seneca Falls, be sure to take the short drive over to Auburn to see the place this remarkable woman called home.
