Join HAPCO Music Foundation at the Town of Oakland’s Black History Month exhibit opening reception on Thursday, February 15, 2024 from 6-8 pm. Explore the world of Harriet Tubman – an icon of freedom who acted, inspired and lead as she fought for equality, justice and freedom in an era of slavery.

FAMU alumni Dr. Eurydice Stanley will discuss Tubman’s extensive contributions to the US including self-emancipation and the Underground Railroad. She will present a viewing of Chasing Harriet: Tracing the Footsteps of an Icon to Freedom, her documentary film detailing Harriet Tubman’s incredible, purpose-driven life. The exhibit will also include art and spoken word poetry.
