Harriet Tubman - Live!: The Story of a Freedom Fighter

In honor of Women's History Month, this special episode brings history to life with a powerful performance of Harriet Tubman Live! by Shirley Lee Corsey. More than just a conductor on the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman was a fearless leader, Civil War spy, and champion for women's rights. Pennsylvania played a pivotal role in her journey, serving as a refuge for freedom seekers and a center of abolitionist efforts.

This episode features an exclusive partial recording of scenes one and two from Shirley Lee Corsey’s performance, offering a vivid and immersive look into Harriet Tubman’s early life and journey to freedom. Following the performance, host Sydney Harris sits down with Corsey to discuss what it means to embody Tubman, the impact of Pennsylvania on her mission, and the enduring lessons of resilience, courage, and justice.
