Kathryn M. Harris, Library Services Director at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, presented Harriet Tubman “in person.” Harriet Tubman is best known for her work with the Underground Railroad, a network of people and places that helped escaping slaves to freedom. Harris’ one-woman show portrayed the faith, tenacity, bravery, determination, and courage of a person who was called “The Moses of her People.” After her opening monologue, “Harriet” took questions from the audience, the answers based on research that Ms. Harris has done over the years.
