A Statue of Harriet Tubman is located in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. It honours the life of abolitionist Harriet Tubman.

The bronze statue was created by artist Jane DeDecker[1] and depicts Tubman walking and holding the hand of a young boy. It was originally placed in Little Rock's Riverfront Park, however during the construction of the Game and Fish Nature Center in the park it was relocated to the entrance of Clinton Presidential Center[2] as part of a series of six pieces of art lining a walkway from the downtown area of Little Rock to the Presidential Center.[3]
