Harriet's Freedom Train [Alf:00-VBM00006CD]

Music is the best teacher and no one knows this better than Patsy Ford Simms. Realizing the need for a fun and motivational way to teach the sensitive and important subject of slavery and the fight for freedom, Patsy set about the task of writing a musical for children that would accomplish this goal. She did it with flare, using Harriet Tubman as the key figure for this musical. Easy, memorable, and historically accurate, this is a must for every older elementary and middle school group. Grades four through eight.
