In Boston, along Columbus Avenue, is a utility box painted about Harriet Tubman to go with the monuments at this location dedicated to Harriet Tubman.
The park is located at the intersection of Columbus Avenue and Warren Avenue, on the south side of the intersection.
The utility box is on the northeast end of the park on the sidewalk, outside the fence. It is a cubic tower, about half as deep as it is wide and a third as tall. The forms painted are like quilt pattern patches on a green/yellow patterned background. on the widest surface toward the sidewalk is an image of Harriet Tubman. On another side is a shoe, and another is hands and a 'Wanted' Poster. The text on the poster says, "Wanted, Dead or Alive, Harriet Tubman, $40,000, for helping 300 slaves escape on the Underground Railroad." Below is the name of the artist, Shawn Aniking.
