SATURDAY FEB 8th 2:00- 4:00 PM HARRIET TUBMAN

Harriet Tubman: Military Scout and Tenacious Visionary': Author Talk With Rita Daniels, Descendant of Harriet Tubman

Great-great-great grandniece of Harriet Tubman, Rita Daniels,  speaks on her new book about Harriet Tubman. 

​Who was this remarkable woman?
​We might know the outlines of her story, but the deep research of Wiesen and rich family memory of Daniels combine to form a nuanced and vibrant portrait of a historic figure we all thought we knew. Uncovering Harriet's ancestral roots in Ghana and exploring her time on the underground railroad, as a military scout, suffragette, and more, Harriet Tubman is an inspiring and illuminating narrative about a key figure in our history.

Rita Daniels is a national figure who has been featured in various national television & print media like PBS, ABC, NEWS 12 CT, NY, NJ and honored by CT. U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, Congressman Himes, CT., CT. Mayor of New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker, Bridgeport, CT. City Council, Town of Weston CT. and more
Rita's visit to our area will include an appearance on the Today Show on Friday morning.
