Entertaining...educational...and inspiring for all ages!
Travel back in time and meet Harriet Tubman as portrayed by Joyce
Harris. Find out what Tubman endured not only as a slave but as she
helped slaves escape. Hear Michael Eley sing historical Negro
Spirituals and talk about their hidden messages.
Ms. Harris and Mr. Eley mesmerized a record crowd of 250 when they
performed in 2007. We are excited to have them back.
