Description

Come to the Wesleyan Chapel from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on May 23, 2019 for a program with Gwendolyn Briley-Strand as Harriet Tubman! This program continues the partnership between Women’s National Historical Park and  the Seneca Museum of Waterways and Industry. 

 

Tonight's program is "Harriet Tubman – The Chosen One."

 

“Harriet Tubman – The Chosen One” is a dynamic one-woman show that takes its audience on one of the many journeys Ms. Tubman took on the Underground Railroad. The show celebrates the life of this great American who made her way to freedom, and then risked her freedom to free others. Watch Ms. Briley-Strand, change into more than a dozen characters, right before your eyes. See for yourself the people who helped her along the path to freedom… and the ones who tried to stop her in her tracks. Listen as she sings spiritual after spiritual showing how the enslaved used this “secret language” to communicate with one another. Join Ms. Briley-Strand as she transports you into a time you’ve only read about.
