Karol V. Brown
Karol Brown, a historical storyteller uses the voice of 92-year-old Aunt Harriet, in her portrayal of Harriet Tubman. Harriet Tubman was born a slave in 1821. She is known best as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, and for freeing herself, and 300 others from slavery. When Harriet Tubman told her stories in her simple language, people learned how God guided her, how she found support from friends and family and how she changed her future by taking action. Her stories tell about life growing up as a slave, service as a spy, scout, and nurse in the Civil War and more. She helped women start businesses, supported schools, civil rights, and established a home for sick and homeless people. Harriet Tubman spent 29 years in slavery, she suffered abuse, poverty and was uneducated, yet she became known as the Woman called Moses, and as a great leader in American history. How did she overcome the disadvantages in life she experienced? It was by her strong faith, love, and leadership. Harriet Tubman left a legacy of love, compassion, faith, and commitment that is an inspiration to all. She is a model whose life demonstrates that anyone can step-up and step-out, to make a difference in his or her own life and the lives of others.
