Before Cynthia Erivo was tapped to play Elphaba in the "Wicked" movie, she was already a powerhouse of the stage and screen.

Now, many years after her death, Tubman is officially a one-star brigadier general, according to The Associated Press.

A crowd gathered at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park in Maryland, for a ceremony to honor Tubman's legacy and officially commission her as a one-star general.
