Monumental: Harriet Tubman and Newark's Liberation Movement

De: Pia Wilson
Narrado por: Queen Latifah, Korey Jackson, Joniece Abbott-Pratt

Resumen del Editor

These excerpts were designed for Newark’s beloved Harriet Tubman Square, featured as immersive audio in the permanent monument installation honoring Harriet Tubman, Newark’s role in the Underground Railroad, and the Black liberation movement’s rich history in the city. Audible is deeply committed to the renaissance of Newark—our hometown—and to helping share stories that deserve to be told.

In the heat of 2020’s unrest, as anti-racism protests swept the nation, the city of Newark, New Jersey, removed the Christopher Columbus statue from Washington Park. The park was renamed Harriet Tubman Square, and a monument honoring her was erected—a monumental moment in American history.

Past and present collide again in Monumental: Harriet Tubman and Newark’s Liberation Movement, created by Newark native Pia Wilson and performed by Newark native Queen Latifah. The first story dives into the riveting life of Harriet Tubman, immersing listeners in a memorable retelling of the adversity Harriet endured as a pioneer of the Underground Railroad. The second story reflects on the individuals and organizations at the forefront of the abolitionist movement in Newark. It highlights the heroes throughout the city's history who risked life and liberty to help people reach freedom and achieve their human rights.

Well done with even new information!

So glad to learn of my city’s history. Much to be proud of - some to be sorry for. Growing up in Down Neck, I never encountered Black people. It was highly segregated. European immigrants wanted to keep Blacks down. Now I know what set off the 60s riots. Thank you Audible.

Monumental Harriet Tubman

It was a good narrated story, wish it could have been longer and went into more detail about Harriet and Newarks movement. Good read for ppl that weren’t exposed to a lot of info about Harriet or the liberation movement.

Beautifully rendered history

This beautifully rendered history is another richly textured (powerful and nuanced writing, reading, and music) layer to enhance this auspicious moment when the City of Newark is preparing to unveil a monument to American hero Harriet Tubman which is a spatial and sonic palimpsest brilliantly conceived by architect Nina Cooke John. #ninacookejohn #queenlatifah #aishaglover #producedbyroc #cityofnewarknj #newarkcityparks #newarkmuseumart #blackpower_19thcentury #runewark
Congratulations to everyone whose inspired and superhuman labor brought this to fruition!

Over all poor

Poorly researched, poorly written, glad it was free, poorly narrated. Just poor performance. Not even a piece of history
