Exhibits & Events

What

The monumental sculpture “Harriet Tubman: The Beacon of Hope” has arrived in Florida for the first time in its history and is being exhibited in the Legacy Garden at the Woodson African American Museum of Florida. This beautiful sculpture is rich in powerful symbolism and you’re invited to experience it in the Legacy Garden. Admission is Free.

“The Beacon of Hope” is a monument that tells Harriet Tubman’s continuing story; that amplifies her message of equality, so that all may hear it; and that chronicles her journey. It is our hope that generations of children and adults alike will find the inspiration and the courage to walk in her footsteps and draw strength from the powerful story of one of our great American heroes, finding it within themselves to become “The Beacon of Hope” for others.

What

The Woodson’s premier event is back this summer to celebrate Juneteenth — but with a twist!

Choose from red, black, green, or yellow during this year’s Jazzy Juneteenth Jubilee to honor the emancipation of African Americans in the United States and the ongoing pursuit of true equality for all.
