The Life Of Harriet Tubman
September 15, 2023 @ 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
The life of Harriet Tubman is one of the most extraordinary tales of heroism, sacrifice, and courage you will ever hear. Many Americans know the name of Harriet Tubman as a conductor of the Underground Railroad. They remember that she led many enslaved people to freedom. But like Rosa Parks or Paul Revere, she’s remembered more as a symbolic figure than as a real-life person whose life was dramatic before and after her daring rescues behind enemy lines.
In this fast-moving and fascinating multimedia presentation, you will meet the woman behind the legend. The life of Harriet Tubman includes being a spy, a nurse, an advocate for women’s suffrage, and the distinction of being the first American woman ever to lead regular army troops into combat! I love this presentation, and I think you will as well!
