Each year, TAT (Truckers Against Trafficking) presents its most prestigious award, the Harriet Tubman Award, along with a $5,000 check and a trophy to a member of the trucking, bus, or energy industry whose direct actions have either helped save or improve the lives of those exploited or prevented human trafficking from taking place.
Do you know someone who deserves to win this award? If so, TAT asks you to nominate them! Information about the nomination process can be found here.
TAT created the award in 2013 and named it to honor famed abolitionist Harriet Tubman, whose courageous actions transported 300 slaves to freedom through the Underground Railroad and whose overall role in the freedom movement was instrumental in the freeing of thousands more. Born into slavery in 1820, Tubman was the first African American woman buried with full military honors and the first to have the inaugural Liberty ship named after her – the SS Harriet Tubman – by the U.S. Maritime Commission. The Harriet Tubman Award was presented to a travel plaza general manager in Washington for the first time the following year.
Award nominations will be accepted through July 30, which is World Human Trafficking Day.
