The performance will offer a close look into the life and achievements of Tubman.

“Her life is a monument to courage and determination that continues to stand out in American history,” a news release from John Brown Farm reads. “Born enslaved, she endured brutality and a near-death injury, regained strength, and saw a different future, eventually freeing herself, family members, and many others. She was a brilliant strategist who developed amazing navigational and survival skills, and would go on to serve as a cook, nurse, and spy for Union forces during the American Civil War. In 1863, she was the first woman to lead an armed attack in the War, liberating 700 slaves in the process.”

Tubman will be portrayed by Charmaine Crowell-White, an actor, storyteller and educator from Charlottesville, Virginia.

This free performance will take place behind the barn at John Brown Farm at 2 p.m., weather permitting, or under the big tent if needed.

Crowell-White, a graduate of San Jose State University, is an accomplished theater arts professional who integrates her dedication, perspective, and skills into a wide range of educational and performance settings. Her specialty is one-woman live stage performances.
