Born into slavery in Maryland, Harriet Tubman not only ran away alone to escape slavery, but returned to the South nineteen times to lead over three hundred other slaves to freedom in the northen United States and Canada. Unable to rest as long as there are those who need guidance, "The Spirit of Harriet Tubman" returns time and again sharing her life story and the things she learned along the way. Actress Leslie McGurdy captivates her audience in this dramatic work with only a trunk of costumes and a barren stge as her landscape.
