Delve into the maritime marvels of Wilmington's Underground Railroad this Black History Month with the Kalmar Nyckel Foundation (KNF). On Saturday, February 3, from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m., KNF will illuminate the captivating story of Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad through a family-friendly event.
Children of all ages are invited to embark on their own educational journey by participating in hands-on activities like building a freedom schooner and finding the North Star. As a reward for their efforts, young participants will receive age-appropriate illustrated children's books about the Underground Railroad. Sail handling and storytelling activities will engage young minds, and face painting will be available for a small fee. Central to the program is a not-to-be-missed 2:30 p.m. performance of "HARRIET TUBMAN" by the accomplished actor-historian, Dr. Daisy Century of the American Historical Theatre. Dr. Century's solo act will transport audiences back in time, bringing Harriet Tubman's remarkable journey to life. Following the performance, a Q&A session will provide an opportunity for attendees to ask questions diving deeper into this pivotal chapter of history.
