AI Summary
This bill aims to officially designate March 10 as "Harriet Tubman Day" by adding a new section to the Ohio Revised Code. The bill proposes to create section 5.2324, which will formally recognize the date as a day to commemorate Harriet Tubman, a famous African American abolitionist, humanitarian, and key figure in the Underground Railroad who helped numerous enslaved people escape to freedom during the mid-19th century. By establishing this official day of recognition, the Ohio General Assembly seeks to honor Tubman's significant contributions to the fight against slavery and her crucial role in American history, ensuring that her legacy and importance are remembered and celebrated annually in the state of Ohio.
