Calling on Harriet

Bridging the gap between then and now, “Calling on Harriet” takes the viewer on an episodic adventure inspired by Harriet Tubman’s character and enduring legacy. Host Jackie Murray visits with local historians to dig deep into the nooks and crannies, looking beyond the bindings for clues left behind. Through our discoveries we imagine the world as Harriet would have seen it, recreating vivid moments artfully woven into our narrative journey.
