The local National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers MC Modesto/Fresno Chapter was honored to escort Ernestine Wyatt, the great great great grandniece of Harriet Tubman, by request from her hotel to two separate speaking venues during her Fresno visit on Oct. 9, 2026.
Four riders mounted their “iron horses” (aka their motorcycles), and Wyatt’s party through Fresno streets to the Fresno VA Medical Facility and ultimately to the Fresno City College where she spoke and answered questions, drawing connections from the Underground Railroad to the present day.
