For those new to Harriet Tubman Tours and to me—I’m Alex Green, co-founder (alongside my lovely wife Lisa). We’ve spent years guiding people through the landscapes that shaped Harriet Tubman’s life. From the tidal marshes she used for survival to the landmarks where she fought for freedom, our tours connect history to the land itself.
At Taking Nature Black, I’ll be diving into how history, nature, and culture are deeply intertwined with panelists Hope Khodaei, Jacqueline Patterson, and Lydia Lawrence.
Join us Friday, March 7 at the Silver Spring Civic Building!
