A Visit with Harriet Tubman Saturday, April 30 . 11 a.m. - Wheelock Library 3 p.m. - Moore Library Harriet Tubman, the Moses of her people, was the most renowned conductor of the Underground Railroad. This presentation is an opportunity to visit with Harriet Tubman as an elderly woman looking back over her life. Aunt Harriet, as her friends call her, talks about slavery, her faith, family, and friends who risked their own freedom to help the runaway slaves escape on the Underground Railroad. Her stories are examples of how faith, unity, brotherly love and commitment to helping others were important in the fight for freedom over 100 years ago and today. Ten years ago, Karol Brown joined the storytelling community with the Inquiring Mind program. Throughout Washington, Karol is known as Aunt Harriet, the 92 year old Harriet Tubman. James Brown is a "Natural Storyteller" who captivates the audience with stories and songs and his smooth tenor voice. As Brother Ely, he is able to borrow the minds of audiences young and old as they travel back in time to visit with Harriet Tubman. The Browns bring you as close to meeting Harriet Tubman as you will ever come with this engaging, spellbinding, portrayal and singing that touch everyone in the room.

Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you never met, someone who even is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours."
