News at Eleven: An 8- by 5-inch 19th-century hymnal,

bound in faded paperboard and cloth, bears its owner's name handwritten on the inside cover. The well-worn book of hymns belonged to one of American history's most legendary heroines: Harriet Tubman.

Historian Charles Blockson recently donated the hymnal--along with other Tubman memorabilia--to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
