Frequently\nthreatened\, beaten\, whipped\, and starved\, Ms. Tubman’s indomitable spirit could not be broken.\nSuffering from a head wound incurred when a furious overseer aimed a two-pound weight at\nanother slave\, but missed\, Harriet Tubman suffered from seizures for the rest of her life. But\neven this daunting physical obstacle could not keep her from her freeing herself and freeing\nothers from slavery. A Union spy during the Civil War as well as a nurse\, Ms. Tubman directed\nher consider energies towards humanitarian causes that included women’s suffrage after the war. \nDr. Daisy Century considers Harriet Tubman her role model\, someone who encouraged her\nto put others first and to lead by example. Like her inspiration\, Daisy grew up on a farm\, has a\nwonderful singing voice and is a determined woman of conviction: once they start a project\, they\nmust see it through to completion. Harriet Tubman reveals a woman who made up her mind as a\nyoung girl that things could be better than they were\, “I had reasoned this out in my mind. There\nwas one of two things I had a right to – liberty or death. If I could not have one\, I would have the\nother.” Tubman shows us a woman who found freedom for herself and then made sure others\nwere brought to freedom. The brave woman who rescued more than seventy slaves using the\nUnderground Railroad declared\, “I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.”\nHarriet Tubman takes each and every audience member along for this ride. \n  \nABOUT THE ACTOR \nDr. Daisy Century recalls the thrill of receiving a standing ovation for her 3rd grade recitation of\nThe Creation and credits this as the beginning of her desire to perform. Trained as a teacher\, Dr.\nCentury earned a BA in Biology at Claflin College\, a Master’s in Science Education from South\nCarolina University and a PhD from Temple University\, also in Science Education. This\nnaturally talented teacher and actor couples scientific methods with creative imagination in order\nto discover how the historical characters she interprets would respond to a given situation. An\ninspiring educator whose students have returned year after year to thank Dr. Century for the\ndifference she has made in their lives\, Daisy has continued to inspire through her thoroughly-\nresearched\, dramatically intense portrayals. Dr. Century is a published author\, writing under the\nname Emily Nelson\, and is an accomplished singer. \nDr. Century contacted the American Historical Theatre and auditioned for AHT founders Pamela\nand William Sommerfield in 1999. Since then\, Daisy has appeared in venues that include the\nNational Defense Organization\, Belmont Mansion\, National Archives\, Sojourner Truth House\,\nTheodore Roosevelt National Historic Site\, the Helicopter Museum\, and numerous schools\,\nlibraries\, museums and historic sites throughout New Jersey. \n [/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/9v0Bxr1_SMc?si=tIkAdZQDsBbYqp6F” el_width=”70″ align=”center”][vc_empty_space hide_on_wide=”” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND THIS EVENT” color=”mulled-wine” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FuCZenUwai5LkqwVaA|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
