Daisy Century Nelson - Performance of Harriet Tubman Dr. Daisy Century Nelson has a doctorate in education. She has taught for over twenty years in the School District of Philadelphia as an award-winning science teacher. In her role as a historical interpreter, Dr. Nelson transforms into legendary figures of African American history such as Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Madame C.J. Walker. She truly embodies the character and the particular time period as she weaves ...their inspiring life story. Dr. Nelson considers Harriet Tubman her role model, someone who encouraged her to put others first and to lead by example. Tubman reveals a woman who made up her mind as a young girl that things could be better than they were. "I had reasoned this out in my mind. There was one of two things I had a right to - liberty or death. If I could not have one, I would have the other." Please join us for this engaging and thought-provoking performance!
