The Executive Order
In July of 2023, Governor Wes Moore authorized the Maryland 250 Commission to develop a commemoration of Maryland’s many contributions to America’s 250 years. With a charge to create the most inclusive commemoration in state history, we set out to build what will culminate in 2026—a statewide observance that recognizes all Marylanders’ journeys toward life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

For me: Maryland is about the history, in particular, the great legacy of Harriet Tubman. In 2020, I walked in her footsteps along the Underground Railroad from Cambridge, Md to Philadelphia! The experience changed my life in the most amazing ways. I now know the true meanings of purpose, faith, community and perseverance! Now a resident of Cambridge, Md, I derive great joy serving as the direct of events and programs at the Harriet Tubman Museum and Educational Center! “Find the Harriet in You” in Maryland!
