K 1036 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Recognizing Tuesday, March 10, 2026, as Harriet Tubman Day

This bill designates Tuesday, March 10, 2026, as Harriet Tubman Day in New York State to honor the historical legacy of the abolitionist. The resolution requires the legislative body to pause its proceedings on that date to recognize Tubman's contributions to the Underground Railroad and her service during the Civil War. The measure serves as a commemorative acknowledgment of Tubman's life achievements and does not create new laws or funding. It is a symbolic gesture intended to celebrate her role in the fight for freedom and her enduring impact on American history.
