Harriet Tubman Museum's Dynamic Duo Takes the Stage: Linda Harris and David B. Cole to Present at Prestigious ASALH Conference

We are proud to announce that our very own Linda Harris, Director of Programming and Events at the Harriet Tubman Museum and Education Center, along with her husband, musician David B. Cole, have been invited to present at the 109th annual conference of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). This event will take place in Pittsburgh, PA from September 25th to 29th.

Linda and David will be taking the stage on Wednesday, September 25th, to share their insights and expertise on the rich history of African American life and culture. Their presentation will focus on the intersection of music, storytelling, and history.

Following their presentation in Pittsburgh, Linda and David will travel to Lewes, Delaware, where they will close out the History Book Festival. Here, they will have the honor of performing and conducting an interview with Kiya Miles, author of the acclaimed book “Night Flyer.” This book delves into the history of resistance and resilience within the African American community, a theme that resonates deeply with the mission of the Harriet Tubman Museum.

We are incredibly proud of Linda and David’s continued dedication to educating and inspiring others through their work. Their participation in these events underscores the importance of preserving and sharing African American history, and we are excited to see the impact they will have at both the ASALH conference and the History Book Festival.

Please join us in congratulating Linda Harris and David B. Cole on this well-deserved recognition, and stay tuned for more updates on their journey and contributions.
