Carolyn Evans is Harriet Tubman

Chester — A one-women performance of “Harriet Tubman: Love in a Cabin” will be presented by Carolyn Evans at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 26. Evans, an actress, poet and Orange County resident, will transform herself into Harriet Tubman, the black woman with an irrepressible spirit. Tubman managed to escape the Maryland plantation where she was a slave after the death of its owner, and before she could be sold with the other slaves. She left her husband behind to take the underground railroad north. With a bounty on her head, she returned to the south twenty times, and led three hundred fellow fugitive slaves, including her parents, to freedom in the north. The performance will take place at the Chester Senior Center, in the rear of the library at 1784 Kings Highway in Chester. Refreshments will be served. For more information, call the Chester Public Library at 469-4252 or the Chester Historical Society at 469-3710 after 10 a.m.
