Interwoven Stories: The Harriet Tubman & Emily Howland Connection

As the National Women’s Hall of Fame positions itself to host Induction weekend in 2022, we will be creating programming that focuses on themes that tie to the work and priorities of our 2021 Inductee. Through a comprehensive series of panels, workshops, social media campaigns, and events, we will explore a wide range of topics relevant to our work to highlight the accomplishments of great American women.

During the month of November, we are excited to present Interwoven Stories. We will be exploring the connections and relationships between various people, cultures and traditions that make our nation unique.

Join us as we learn about the relationship between 1973 Inductee, Harriet Tubman and 2021 Inductee, Emily Howland.

In 2019, a photograph of a young Harriet Tubman was uncovered in a photo album originally owned by Emily Howland. During this panel, experts from the National Portrait Gallery and Library of Congress will explain the discovery, research, and preservation of the Tubman photograph. As well as discuss Tubman and Howland more broadly, and their relationship.

Panelists include:  

• Moderator: Kim Sajet, Director, National Portrait Gallery  
• Ashleigh Coren, Women’s History Content and Interpretation Curator, National Portrait Gallery  
• Helena Zinkham, Director for Collections & Services and Chief of the Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress 
• Marilyn Post, Research Specialist, Howland Stone Store Museum
