The Life of Harriet Tubman by Dr. Daisy Century

February 16 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Historical interpeter, Dr. Daisy Century performs her interpretation of Harriet Tubman, an historical and entertaining performance for the whole family.

Born Araminta Ross, Harriet Tubman lived as a slave on a Maryland plantation. Despite many hardships and a physical injury that caused seizures throughout her life, she was a determined woman of conviction. She freed herself and others from slavery. A Union spy during the Civil War as well as a nurse, Ms. Tubman directed her energies towards humanitarian causes that included women’s suffrage after the war.

Historical interpreter Dr. Daisy Century considers Harriet Tubman her role model, someone who encouraged her to put others first and to lead by example. Harriet Tubman reveals a woman who made up her mind as a young girl that things could be better than they were, “I had reasoned this out in my mind. There was one of two things I had a right to – liberty or death. If I could not have one, I would have the other.” Tubman shows us a woman who found freedom for herself and then made sure others were brought to freedom. The brave woman who rescued more than 70 slaves using the Underground Railroad declared, “I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.” This presentation takes each and every audience member along for the ride.
