Historic Annapolis celebrates the Harriet Tubman Bicentennial Year, marking 200 years since her birth in Dorchester County.

Maryland’s Eastern Shore was home to two American heroes of the first order in Underground Railroad conductor Harriet Tubman and antislavery activist Frederick Douglass. In this presentation, award-winning writer and storyteller Jim Duffy shares keystone stories from the very different journeys those two took out of bondage and into the history books. Learn, too, about other, lesser known champions of freedom from here in our own backyard. Along the way, Duffy will share a few of the life lessons he learned while researching and writing the book “Tubman Travels: 32 Underground Railroad Journeys on Delmarva.”
