The Cabinet of Freedom discussed Tubman’s placement on U.S. currency at its last board meeting, expressing its pride in Tubman’s induction in 2005 with the first class of abolitionists. The Tubman news has energized the board for its seasonal opening. NAHOF is open from 1-5 pm Saturdays and Sundays, and from 12 – 4 pm on Mondays-Thursdays, for special events, and by appointment. CHANGING AMERICA, an exhibit from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture will open at NAHOF with a special program on Saturday, June 4.
