About the production

Shortly before Christmas day in 1854, Harriet Tubman discovered that her brothers, enslaved in Maryland, were to be sold at auction on December 26th. With a steely determination, she went back to Maryland, to the plantation where she had once been enslaved, to lead her brothers to freedom in the north. On December 29th, she, her brothers and several others walked safely into William Still's Anti-Slavery office in Philadelphia. Come hear their incredible story and how the coded messages in Spirituals helped guide the way.
