On Veterans Day, Harriet Tubman was posthumously promoted to the rank of one-star general in the Maryland Army National Guard. This designation comes after the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation allowing the governor to award military commissions to individuals after their death. Tubman, an influential abolitionist known for her role in guiding enslaved people to freedom and serving in the Union Army, is recognized as the first woman in U.S. history to lead a combat regiment. Maryland Governor Wes Moore officiated the promotion, highlighting Tubman's significant contributions to American history.
