‘Historic and monumental’: Harriet Tubman sculpture unveiled at Millbrae transit village

A public sculpture honoring the abolitionist Harriet Tubman was recently unveiled at the Gateway at Millbrae Station project, a multi-use housing development adjacent to the Millbrae BART and Caltrain station.

San Francisco-based artist Cheryl Derricotte created the 12-foot, free-standing sculpture, formally titled “Freedom’s Threshold.” The sculpture includes Tubman’s likeness across more than 30 glass tiles, standing in the “doorway” of her home in Auburn, New York.
