Synopsis
Mean to Be Free, the story of two black children who traveled the dangerous Underground Railroad north to freedom, is based on events that happened well over 150 years ago, yet its significance now is greater than ever, dramatizing a people's struggle to stand with dignity. Based on historical accounts, the courageous actions of characters, both black and white, including Harriet Tubman (the Moses of her people), Thomas Garrett (a Quaker station master from Wilmington), and Oliver Johnson (head of the New York Anti-Slavery Office) are vitally recounted for your audiences.
