Play to Honor Organization’s 15th Crystal Anniversary A Great Success

To kick of the celebration  of Creative Visions Human Development Institute’s  15th  Crystal Anniversary, Creative Visions  hosted the play Harriet Tubman: The Chosen One on March 4, 2011 at 6:30 P.M. at the Iowa Historical Society 600 East Locust St. Des Moines Iowa. 

The play was performed by critically acclaimed actress Gwendolyn Briley- Strand whose performance took  the audience of over 100 patrons  on one of the journeys Ms. Tubman took through the Underground Railroad.  The music, props, costumes, and extraordinary acting gave the audience an  understanding of the challenges that Harriet Tubman and other slaves experienced during that. The play also provided the audience with  a greater understanding of why the strength, courage, and faith shown by Harriet Tubman is still needed  to guide, inspire and empower communities to overcome the challenges we face today.

One highlight of the evening was the recognition of two Moulton Middle School students who won national honors for their rhetorical and math and science skills. 

The play is one of many events that Creative Visions will hold this year in recognition of 15 years of Service and Empowerment.
