By now, you've probably seen the photo of a 3-year-old girl reaching out to touch the outstretched hand on a nearly completed mural of Harriet Tubman.
The powerful painting was brought to life by artist Michael Rosato. The 59-year-old was asked to paint the mural by the Dorchester Center for the Arts for the 50th Anniversary of the Maryland State Arts Council. It was finished on Monday and can be seen on the side of the Harriet Tubman Museum & Educational Center in Cambridge, Maryland. Rosato's idea for the mural was a group effort with the community.
— Liddle Lamzy Dive May 18, 2019 This isn't the first time Rosato has painted an image of Tubman. He also depicted her in a historical mural along US Route 50, near Cambridge. The response to this particular image has been that there's a softness and gentleness that you usually don't see associated Tubman, he said."There's an accessibility and a human feeling about it.
