Newark's Harriet
Tubman Monument

Shadow of a Face is a new interactive monument
honoring Harriet Tubman and New Jersey's role in
the Underground Railroad.

A Community
Gathering Place

The new monument is the first step in transforming
Harriet Tubman Square into a reimagined place
for Newark residents and visitors.

Ms. Cooke John’s work of public art will be a symbol of hope and optimism, not only for our Newark community,
but also for the entire country.
