Head of Maryland Park Service to be honored at Banneker-Douglas Museum renaming

Growing up in Baltimore, Angela Crenshaw remembered hearing the names of Maryland’s African American history “titans” like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman. Her school history books, however, only mentioned Tubman briefly, detailing her time spent helping slaves escape on the Underground Railroad. It wasn’t until Crenshaw began working as a park ranger at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park and Visitor Center in Dorchester County that she truly connected with Tubman’s life and story.
