[Dawn. The raid is successful. FREED PEOPLE pour onto the Union boats. A CHILD clings to their parent.]
FREED PERSON:
(overwhelmed, to Harriet) You came for us. You actually came.
HARRIET TUBMAN: (taking their hand) I told you I would come. I told everybody I would come. CHILD: (looking up at Harriet) Are we really free? HARRIET TUBMAN: (kneeling to the child's level) You really are. And nobody will ever take that from you. [All cast members gather for the finale.] NARRATOR 1: Harriet Tubman freed more than 700 enslaved people over her lifetime. She was called 'the Moses of her people' and later, 'the General.' NARRATOR 2: After the Civil War, she continued her work — fighting for women's right to vote and caring for the elderly and poor. She opened a home for the aged in her community. NARRATOR 3: Harriet Tubman died in 1913 at approximately 90 years old. Her last words were, 'I go to prepare a place for you.' She was a woman of extraordinary courage, faith, and love. [HARRIET TUBMAN steps forward.] HARRIET TUBMAN: Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars and change the world. [Lights fade. End of play.]
