OKLAHOMA CAPITOL -- African-American women played many roles in American history and none greater than during the Abolitionist movement. "En Route to Freedom," about a free negro [sic] woman and "Harriet Tubman: A Moses to Her People," which takes place at an Underground Railroad fundraiser in 1861 are unique stories captured in two one-women dramatic sketches. 

These sketches, created by DeLanie Brewer, are available for scheduling for community groups and congregations. Brewer, an accomplished mom, wife, actress and woman of faith has partnered with the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives to tell these stories of individuals throughout America’s black history.

OFBCI is committed to serving Oklahoma’s poor and disadvantaged by establishing faith links between government, faith-based congregations, and community organizations to address social service needs in our communities. One approach to this mission is to inform and educate individuals on aspects of life that might be outside their everyday world and this resulted in a partnership with Brewer.

These presentations will educate, motivate, and provide inspiration to be intentional in serving others.  For more information or to schedule one of the sketches, call (405) 522-0606 or visit http://www.faithlinksok.org/ (Link opens in new window).
