Tonight’s Full Circle, an encore presentation from December 2015, has excerpts from a play entitled “Go Tell It.”

It’s a Harriet Tubman Christmas Story with narration, singing and drumming.    It depicts how Harriett Tubman went to rescue her 3 brothers at Christmas time in 1854, on the cusp of her siblings being sold into slavery.

Our host is Zakiyyah G.E. Capehart, who also interviews the writer & director of the musical drama.
