In this May 25, 2017 photo, Mayor Victoria Jackson-Stanley poses for a photograph outside the Dorchester County Courthouse in Cambridge, Md., a stop on the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway. "This is just an opportunity for the world to know that Harriet has been a major part of our history in the United States of America," said Jackson-Stanley, the first black woman to be elected mayor of Cambridge, not far from where Tubman was born and raised a slave and where race riots broke out 50 years ago. "She's a local home girl, as I like to say, but she's an icon for freedom and a supporter of the women's suffrage movement." (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)
