"As close to meeting Harriet Tubman as you will ever be"
Karol Brown is the unforgettable Aunt Harriet Tubman. From the moment she walks on the stage until she answers all the children's questions, Karol is the elderly Aunt Harriet Tubman to everyone in the room.
The audience laughs, cries and sings with Aunt Harriet as they visit with her in the parlor of the convalescent home she founded in Auburn, New York, where she lived until she died March 10, 1913 at age 92.

James Brown is a "Natural Storyteller" he captivates the audience with his stories and his smooth tenor voice. As Brother Ely, the Care Taker, he asks to "borrow the minds" of the
audiences, young and old to take them on a vicarious journey to travel back in time to
1912, to visit with Harriet Tubman.
Throughout the storytelling, James brings the sounds of the Negro Spirituals into
the room and the audience experiences musical enchanting moments.
School children listen carefully and breakout into applause after each song.
