 rom epilepsy after being hit in the head with a two-pound weight intended 
 to deter a runaway slave\, was repeatedly threatened\, beaten and starved\
 , and emerged from these trials an ardent abolitionist\, humanitarian and 
 Union spy during the Civil War. Not content to find freedom herself\, Ms. 
 Tubman rescued others from their bondage through the Underground Railroad.
  After the Civil War\, she was active in the struggle for women&rsquo\;s s
 uffrage.</p>\n<p>Harriet Tubman shows us a woman unstopped by almost insur
 mountable obstacles. Audience members learn how to &ldquo\;walk soft&rdquo
 \; in the woods as they journey to freedom and sing &ldquo\;Go down\, Mose
 s\,&rdquo\; a doubly potent message since one of Ms. Tubman&rsquo\;s nickn
 ames was &ldquo\;Moses.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>Dr. Daisy Century\, Ed.D\, capture
 s the intensity of Tubman&rsquo\;s faith and the depth of her passion for 
 freedom &ndash\; for herself and for all who were oppressed. She takes her
  audience on Tubman&rsquo\;s remarkable journey through the underground ra
 ilroad - from Slavery to Freedom! Daisy shares Harriet&rsquo\;s commitment
  and makes accessible the enormity of Harriet Tubman&rsquo\;s contribution
