THE SPIRIT OF HARRIET TUBMAN

THE SPIRIT OF HARRIET TUBMAN Written & Performed by Leslie McCurdy Born into slavery in Maryland, Harriet Tubman not only ran away alone to escape slavery, she returned to the south 19 times to lead more than 300 other slaves to freedom in the northern United States and Canada. Her work as a nurse and a spy during the Civil War was instrumental in helping the North defeat the South, thus forcing the abolition of slavery in the United States. In this riveting portrayal by actor-singer-dancer-teacher Leslie McCurdy, Tubman is brought to life in one breathtaking hour!
