Join us for an exhilarating and informative living history experience as Millicent Sparks breathes life into one of the 19th century’s most celebrated figures: Harriet Tubman. Her portrayal blends accounts of special events in Tubman’s life with an acute sense of Tubman’s personal qualities—her emotional depth, profound spirituality, immense intelligence, extraordinary dignity, and astounding courage. Share an up close and personal evening with this heroic icon who demonstrated an unyielding and fearless resolve to obtain liberty and social justice for herself and others.

Harriet Tubman's legacy is echoed in the words and spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement. Together with our partners, The Howell Carnegie District Library and Huron-Clinton Metroparks, we are delighted to share this special performance to celebrate MLK Day at the Howell Carnegie Library. Light refreshments will be served. Thank you to the Friends of the Howell Carnegie Library for sponsoring this event.

Registration is optional and begins Monday, January 5, at 9 a.m. online, by phone, or in person at the Information Desk. Attendees may enter the building through the front doors on Grand River or the Clinton Street doors in the rear. The library will be closed when the program ends, so everyone must exit through the Clinton Street doors. This event is recommended for people aged 14 and older.
