A Visit with Aunt Harriet

The negro spiritual, "Go Down Moses", which everyone who attended the storytelling about Harriet Tubman today sang, was written about that proud woman of the Underground Railroad. The slaves would sing songs to one another in the fields, letting each other know when another trip North to Freedom with Harriet"Moses" Tubman, would pass through their plantation. She risked her life 19 times over a period of 10 years, and she was successful in every trip she made, saving 300 slaves. Harriet led them all to the safety of Canada, where many stayed even after the war, making a new home.
Karol Brown has been researching her role as Harriet Tubman for 10 years and her partner, James accompanies her with a lovey tenor voice, interspersing songs throughout the reenactment of Harriet's life.
