PARKERSBURG — A presentation about Harriet Tubman will be presented at the regular meeting of the Civil War Round Table of the Mid-Ohio Valley at 7 p.m. July 20 at the Blennerhassett Museum of Regional History, 137 Ann St., Parkersburg.

“General Moses: Stories from the Life of Harriet Tubman” will be presented by Ilene Evans, an actor, educator and storyteller.

The program will be a dramatic interpretation of the life of Tubman, also known as General Moses, and her role in the liberation of slaves through the Underground Railroad.

Spirituals and songs of inspiration fill the presentation and show the passion of the kind of leader who, “never run her train off the track and never lost a passenger.” Celebrate and remember one of America’s heroes in this remarkable portrayal.

Evans is an inventive storyteller weaving music, dance and drama to bring history alive. Evans creates educational theater programs and workshops that span a vast range of arts and humanities.
