Freedom Train Assembly

On February 8th, the fifth graders had a special visit from Harriet Tubman's great grand niece. The visit started off with an incredibly powerful theatrical performance by an extremely talented actress. Here's what some of the students had to say about the performance:
"It literally took my breath away!"
"I started crying!"
"I can't believe people really lived that way."

After the performance, we heard from Harriet Tubman's great grand niece. She had a lot of very interesting information to share with us. To conclude the assembly, the students were able to look at artifacts and documents related to Harriet Tubman's remarkable life.
