Earlier this month, the Central Intelligence Agency unveiled a statue of Underground Railroad hero Harriet Tubman at its Virginia headquarters. She joins three other sculptures at agency headquarters – all of them white men. In addition to her time as a “conductor” for the Underground Railroad, Tubman also served as a spy for the Union Army in the Civil War. The statue is part of a series of events marking the CIA’s 75th anniversary.

Negrified-america

Beautiful!!!
I want to give thanks to Dr OSABA on YouTube for curing my herpes virus with his natural remedy without any side effect today am a living testimony ..
This is a psy op…so you know who were the owners you know who're the descendents of the owners that gained wealth from it…what about them reparations….foh w your BS
I don't know whether to be proud or afraid. Being afraid seems more logical.
A legendary American hero
Wow….really
If you can't tell this is propaganda, give yourself a swirly!!!
"We lie, cheat and steel" Mike Pompeo
Truly the very first glowie, I don't think King Terry would approve of this.
Aren't they the prime suspect in that underwater pipe thing? By the way, where is that story?
I've always loved Harriet Tubman since a child when I first heard about her! She was brave AF and had a real plan! Shout out to you lady we still know you in 2022!
The CIA deals with foreign affairs.
The FBI deals with civil affairs.
I would think that the FBI would have been the statue recipients unless someone wants to mind control those of African American heritage.
Only now are Aframericans waking up to (the racial term use of) the word "Black" (with a capital B) causing confusion and stereotyping among themselves.
It is rude to confuse Koreans with Chinese or other Asians. It is even more rude & racist to call them Yellow.
Calling people Black or White, color filtrating, is causing division in a country where We are foremost Americans when born here.
Personally, I'm Anamerican (the label "Native American" being an unpreferred & obsolete colonial state term for describing my major racial identity).
I find this offensive. No statue should go up these days if you're already taking down the people who brought you to the land. 🤷♂️ pathetic.
This is all Racist every Monument is going back up in the proper places the monuments are NOT RACIST
brown person is mentioned
republicans: wokeness out of control, everyone knows brown people don't exist.
Way to go! You just blew her cover. Idiots lol
We need more statues of Americans like this, and less Confederate propaganda…
This is dope that the CIA did this for Harriet Tubman👊🏿
Now Harriet tubman was definitely true person and one that definitely earned my deepest respect.
✝️💩! The CIA honors. . . the true representation of who is running the united states government. Aka the military industrial complex.
i dont know what the opposite of gentrification is but it cant be a good thing.
