SUMMARY:Freedom Day | Exploring the Families of Historic Mitchelville & Harriet Tubman | From the Railroad to a Spy - Documentary Screenings
DESCRIPTION:One Night\, Two Exciting Documentaries! February 4th & 18th at 6 PM \nFreedom Day | Exploring the Families of Historic Mitchelville is an epic documentary that chronicles the foundations of the Freedom Day holiday as it follows the journey to freedom of the first families of Hilton Head Island as they experienced it\, from the past into today. Surrounded by hostile forces that wanted to maintain the institution of slavery\, the families were able to become self-sufficient and independent in the Town of Mitchelville\, the first self-governed and fully functioning town in the US for freedmen\, which was established in 1862\, three years prior to the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. \nLearn about their daring escapes towards freedom\, their loyalty and dedication to the Union Army\, as well as their incredible contributions as United States Colored Troop soldiers. As new citizens\, the formerly enslaved Gullah established their independence alongside all of the famous people who came to Hilton Head Island\, including Harriet Tubman and Clara Barton\, who among others\, were instrumental in helping the Union Army turn the direction of the Civil War towards victory. \nHarriett Tubman was a conductor on the Underground Railroad. She also came to Hilton Head and Beaufort and was the first black woman to be a part of US military operations\, including the Combahee River Raid\, which rescued over 750 enslaved people. Journey through her incredible life story at the premiere of the documentary\, Harriett Tubman | From the Railroad to a Spy. \nAll proceeds benefit the Lowcountry Gullah Foundation | Historic Gullah Land Preservation Program. \nFor more information on saving Gullah land – www.historiclandpreservation.org
