 Catch up and get ahead with the edge for the week of April 25th. Who is Harriet Tubman and why is she going on the $20 bill? University of Texas at San Antonio Professor Katherine Clinton wrote a biography describing how Tubman smuggled scores of slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad and was a scout, a spy and a liberator for the Union Army during the Civil War. Basically, Tubman was as tough as nails when the former slave risked her life countless times and even performed an ad hoc dental surgery on herself while on the road for the Underground Railroad, Clinton told the Washington Post. At Nowcast SA, we compiled an anthology of articles and videos about Tubman along with links on where you can buy Clinton's book or download a digital copy of her book from the San Antonio Public Library. As her signature initiative, San Antonio poet Laureate Lorien Guerrero challenged people in the community to write love poems to the city. The winning poems were transformed into artistic renditions on the walls of the Culture Commons in the Plaza de Armas near City Hall. At Nowcast SA, we recorded the artist's poems and preserved the magical exhibit on video. We're releasing one video now and will publish a series of love poem videos over the next few weeks, so stay tuned and please share. The Dropout Prevention Program propelled Ray Saldana from San Antonio's Southside to Stanford University. Saldana was in the second grade when he became a mentee in the Intercultural Development Research Association Coca-Cola-Valued Youth Program. He says the Dropout Prevention Program helped him envision himself as a high school graduate and go on to the university becoming the youngest person elected to the San Antonio City Council. It's a colleague of mine who is carrying adults who can show us a path that is possible. And it's very clear to me that now I represent a community and I'm seeking the original day and you realize that there is so much that we can be doing to unlock potential. And it's amazing to see adults who are in the business of unlocking that potential in their work of the program you can help operate on. So I wanted to be here to share a few stories and hopefully a few laughs about how great it can be because it's a positive ray of sunlight at the end of it for folks who have the opportunity to receive it. Join Nowcast SA on Tuesday, May 3 for the webcast of the historic impact of Henry B. Gonzales on Politics and Public Policy. The event commemorates what would have been the 100th birthday of the San Antonio Congressman affectionately known as Henry B. Hosted by the UTSA Office for Community Services and the College of Public Policy, the panel discussion will focus on Gonzales's nearly 40 years in Congress where he was an outspoken critic of the Federal Reserve Bank and a fierce defender of ordinary people. The event is free and open to the public and you can watch live, online or replay it later on Nowcast SA. Go to Nowcast SA for more on all of these stories and as always, thanks for watching The Edge.
