Left Behind: Stories from the Underground Railroad

Master Storyteller Sheila Arnold looks at what formally enslaved people left behind when they escaped to freedom. Freedom—it’s what we all desire, but if you had to leave something or someone behind, could you do it for the hope of a word called “freedom?”  Through story, song and audience interaction, Master Storyteller Sheila Arnold, looks at the fugitive slaves from the Underground Railroad and shares what they left behind – family, clothes, name and even life. There are surprises that were left behind as well, and this presentation brings humor along with thought-provoking moments. The program is historical storytelling at its best.  A one-hour program that begins with the audience’s thoughts and leads to stories that will stay in your mind long after the presentation has ended. Appropriate for all ages.
