Writing About Harriet: The Story of a Family's Bonds of Affection with Harriet Tubman
February 6, 2025 | 7:00 PM
Northeast Kingdom resident Bob Amos explores his ancestors' multi-generational relationship with historical icon Harriet Tubman. Well known as a musician and songwriter, Bob has also pursued a passionate interest in family history. Bob's Auburn, New York ancestors were instrumental in preserving Tubman's legacy, writing the first biography and multiple articles about her during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Bob rediscovered some photographs of Tubman taken by his great aunt that had never been seen outside the family. In 2020 Bob's research on his family's connection to Harriet Tubman was published as a feature article in the national history and genealogy magazine American Ancestors. The photographs
of Harriet Tubman are being donated to the Library of Congress.
This event is free, ADA accessible, and open to the public.
Location: St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, 1171 Main Street, St. Johnsbury, VT
