Play of Harriet Tubman
scene 1: A grandma is sitting down knitting singing
"Swing Low". Mark her grandson enters.
Mark: Grandma, what are you singing?
Gina: Little Marky, come and sit down for a minute ,
and I'll explain it to you
Mark: Okay!
(Mark is sitting down on the floor next to Grandma Gina)
Gina: Now, this is called "Swing Low".
Mark: Say what?
Gina: "Swing Low" 'is one of the popular songs that the
slaves used to sing while they were
working in the fields
Mark: Oh; Did the slaves also dance to the song too?!
Gina: (She laughs) Mark, of course not. They slaves have to
work really hard. The don't have time to dance around.
Mark: Why not? I thought "Swing Low" is a fun song to
dance to?
Gina: The slaves aren’t really happy being a slave.
Thier freedom was stolen, that’s why a lot of them would
runaway.
Mark: Runaway?! But wouldn’t they get in trouble??!!
Gina: Mark, let me show me you something.
Scene 2: Grandma goes to get the old scrap book.
Then she came back and sat down and starts telling her
story....
Gina: Now, Mark I want you to know that this scrapbook was
passed down from my grandma. It was about a woman who helped
the slaves cross to freedom. Her name was Harriet Tubman.
Mark: She was a woman!! Wow how brave of her!!
Gina: Yes indeed she was brave.... since she was young she
was a hard worker. And she was also determined to get her
freedom
Grandma flips to the first page of her scrap book.
Gina: Harriet Tubman made a great deal of impact in
American history. She was born in Dorchester County Maryland
in 1819. In her earlier years, she always had lived in harsh,
injustice condition. And At age twelve, she was seriously
injured by a blow to the head.
Mark: Did she ever got married Grandma?
(Grandma flips to the second page)
Gina: Yes, at the age of 25. Harriet married a free-African
man name
John Tubman. 5 years later, She feared that she would be sold
, so she made her escape in 1849.
(Grandma flips to the third page)
Gina: Harriet made 19 trips to the South and helped about 300
escape to freedom.
Mark: 300! Wow, such a big number. I wonder how she managed
that.
*TRANSITION*
Harriet: Shh....hurry. Hurry up.......come on. We don't want
them to hear us!
The Slave: Okay (he whispered)
(both of them ducked down to hide from the people)
Harriet: Come on, I think they've all gone. Lets go
The slave
he wines) Harriet.......I don’t think I could
go on any more.
I’m so tired and I haven’t' eaten in three days. Please.....
I'd rather
go back. !
Harriet: (steaming) No! "You'll be free or die a slave!"
(Harriet takes out the Gun and points at the slave)
Slave: Harriet, are you trying to kill me? (The slave is truly
frightening)
Harriet: You can't go back. You just can’t. I know that if
you go back. You will put the Underground Railroad
in danger. So you just can't !
The Slave: (appalled) Okay...
Harriet:“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". So same goes for you too.
now, I won't let you go back. I will get you help; come on
(Harriet helps the slave get up. And together they keep on
walking.)
*TRANSITION*
Mark: Wow, Grandma, I never knew Harriet could be so mean!
Gina: No child, Harriet had to pull the gun to threaten the
slaves from going back or else the Under Ground Railroad
won't be safe.
Mark: Oh
Gina: Harriet was such an intelligent woman. She would do
everything,
to convince the slaves to keep on going. She would be telling
them stories. And and they would sing songs together. One of
songs are Go Down Mosses
Mark: So she has to keep them busy?
Gina: Harriet is trying to keep the slaves on going
(Grandma Flips to the fourth page)
Mark: Ooh, what's that?!
Gina: This is a sign that the goverment post all around
about capturing Harriet Tubman and many other run away slaves.
Harriet also Know as "Mosses"
Mark: DEAD OR ALIVE!? They wanted to kill her too??
Gina: yes mark, apparently "Mosses" was a threat to them.
And a lot of slaves owner
were feared by her.Because so many slaves ran away because
of her. When she went to go help the slaves escape she would
sent them a code signal to let them hear that she’s here.
(Grandma flips to the fifth page)
Gina: Not only was Harriet the conductor of the Underground
Railroad. She was also a Cilvil War Nurse,a spy, and a
comander.
Mark: Wow, she must be so busy!
Gina: Yes, Mark, your right. Harriet has spent most of her
life helping others. She had changed a lot of the slaves
lives. Without her, I dont' think that the Underground
Railroad would have happe
