Tuesday, July 26, 7:00 PM – “Left Behind: Tales of the Underground Railroad” Black History Storytelling by Sheila Arnold. IN-PERSON only at Lancaster Community Library in partnership with LCL Adult Summer Reading Program. Free admission for all, thanks to grant funding. No tickets or reservations. Seating is first-come, first-serve with doors opening at 6:30.
Freedom is what we all desire, but if you had to leave something or someone behind in order to achieve it, could you do it? Through story, song, and audience interaction, Master Storyteller Sheila Arnold looks at the experiences of fugitive slaves from the Underground Railroad and shares who and what they left behind–family, clothes, names, and even life–for the hope of freedom. There are surprises that were left behind as well, and this presentation brings humor along with thought-provoking moments. Historical storytelling at its best, this program begins with the audience’s thoughts and leads to stories that will stay in your mind long after the presentation has ended. Program will last approximately 60-90 minutes. Appropriate for adult and family audiences.
