I CAN’T DIE BUT ONCE – HARRIET TUBMAN’S CIVIL WAR: Gwendolyn
Quezaire-Presutti's characterization of Harriet Tubman is a lucid,
well-researched biography about the remarkable life of an enduring warrior. As
Harriet Tubman, she weaves a tale of truth, pain, courage and determination in
the quagmire of racial exploitation. The United States Government enlisted
Tubman as a scout and spy for the Union cause and she battled courageously
behind enemy lines during the Civil War, but Tubman is best known for her role
as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. Though she is one of the most
famous women in our nation's history, we have come to know her life through
fictionalized biographies written for school children. Quezaire-Presutti
separates reality from myth to reconstruct a richer and far more accurate
historical account of Tubman's life.
Gwendolyn
Quezaire-Presutti has combined her expertise in public speaking and interest in
conducting historical research with her passion for storytelling and dramatic
performance. Quezaire-Presutti studied under Professor Lloyd Barbee at the
University of Wisconsin and has been a committed scholar of African American
Studies, in particular women of color. She is listed on the Performing Artist
roster at the Connecticut Historical Society Museum, the Connecticut Commission
on Culture and Tourism, and the Social Theatre with Young Audiences of
Connecticut Arts for Learning. She received the Institute of Texan Cultures'
Director's Award for Excellence, the Greater Hartford Arts Council/ Boston Fund
Individual Artist Fellowship, and first place in the International Toastmaster
Award competition for Interpretive Reading.
Free and open
to the public on Thursday, April 16th, from 6:30-8:00pm, this
program is made possible by a grant from the NH Humanities Council and the
Friends of the Kimball Library.
