The world premiere of Picturing Freedom: Harriet Tubman and the Combahee River Raid opens May 23 and runs through October 5 at the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston SC.
During the River Raid, Harriet Tubman led the largest and most successful slave rebellion in the United States.
The visionary multimedia museum exhibition brings to life the daring freedom fighters led by Tubman on that fateful moonlit night in 1863, when 756 enslaved people liberated themselves in six hours ‒ more than ten times the number of enslaved people Tubman rescued during the ten years of the Underground Railroad.
