Family Events at JFK Library in Boston

I just learned that there are free family shows at the JFK library in Boston. Of particular interest is this one -- I am now eager to learn more about the connection between Tubman and Quaker women... : Underground Railway Theater JANUARY 19, 2009, 10:30 AM—11:30 AM Are You Ready My Sister? Discover how Harriet Tubman, and the Quaker women who helped her, brought 300 fugitives to freedom. A colorful quilt, shadow puppets, and music based on slave spirituals bring the Undergound Railroad to life. The audience is encouraged to participate. This program is particularly suited to older children.
