I am a white man, and we will never know. Therefore we must NEVER forget. Tubman was a giant in our nation's history. I stand in awe.

It's not a woodcut, technically.... it's a relief sculpture.... in wood.

But whatever you want to call it, I like.

Instead of my usual $100.

I'm not any good at this, too pessimistic and soft. But at least I can contribute something. Thank you.
