SPECIAL PROGRAM
Join performance artist Kwelismith, as freedom fighter Harriett Tubman and take a trip on the Underground Railroad to freedom by following the celestial drinking gourd. Go back in time to 1854 and learn how Tubman's faith in God and her knowledge of land, water, stars, plants and animals contributed to her success on the dangerous journey from Cambridge, Maryland, to St. Catherine's Canada.
