The Harriet Tubman Museum & Educational Center is being forced to close its doors for more repairs after just reopening the location weeks prior. On Sunday afternoon, museum officials announced that the center had been vandalized, including damage to the museum’s rear entrance and theft of the museum’s donation box. “We’ve worked so hard to make our museum a special place in the community!” the center said on social media. “Hard to believe that someone would break-in our treasured institution!” Museum officials say the vandals also caused damage to the site’s mural of Bucktown General Store, a site where Harriet Tubman was seriously injured as a child by a store owner’s attempt to capture a runaway slave. Due to the damage at the museum, the center will be closed until further notice as staff works to access the damage and implement repairs. https://lnkd.in/gFvwbhak
