In addition to an abolitionist, Underground Railroad conductor, and veteran of the Civil War, Harriet Tubman was a disability advocate. After a childhood injury, she suffered seizures and fainting spells. Truly a remarkable person that we celebrate this Women's History Month and Brain Injury Awareness Month!

Today, 113 years ago, Harriet Tubman passed away at the age of 91 in Auburn, NY. March 10, also known as Harriet Tubman Day, encourages us to reflect on Tubman’s legacy and journey towards freedom. Born enslaved on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in March 1822, Tubman would later self-emancipate. She then made 13 trips back to the area where she risked losing her own freedom to free more than 70 family members and close friends via the Underground Railroad.

Tubman dedicated her life to liberation, community and grassroots leadership. Mary B. Talbert, president of the Empire State Federation of Women’s Clubs, described her as one who “fought a good fight, truly finished her course, truly kept the faith, and received that crown of righteousness, given only to the faithful.”

We are very excited about this upcoming event at the History Museum! Celebrate Black History Month and learn about the intersection of Black and Disability History.

Severe weather has an outsize impact on the disabled community. Many sidewalks are unshoveled. Even if the sidewalks are clear, curb ramps are piled with snow from plows, making it impossible for mobility aid users to leave the block. Because of this, mobility aid users are impacted by snow and ice long after most people's lives have returned to normal.

Snowstorms are hell for wheelchair users—but they don't have to be "You can't physically move. You can't do anything."

City Hall is closed today! We may not be able to be in office for a few days. We will be checking our voicemail and calling back however. If you need shelter, please call 211 for United Way. Stay safe everyone!

The City advises residents to avoid travel to allow the Street Department room to work. Residents should reduce exposure to the outdoors due to the extreme cold.
