The Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce is proud to host The Black Moses Freedom Festival celebrating the legacy of Harriet Tubman on the 160th Anniversary of her June 2, 1863 victory mission on the Combahee River in Beaufort County.
The event will be held June 2 through June 4, 2023, featuring holistic health introductions and demos, culinary demos and kayaking excursions, as well as financial literacy and urban agriculture workshops to engage the community in activities that contribute to improving their quality of life.
The Black Moses Freedom Festival is an opportunity for organizations and local businesses to collaborate with the community through ideas that educate, focusing on local history, economic empowerment, transitioning to healthier life choices, agricultural sustainability, land ownership, art, and heritage to strengthen the community.
The theme of The Black Moses Freedom Festival is “Educate to Empower through Art, Entertainment, and Engagement.” The Festival will provide opportunities for our community to explore, learn, and exercise new paradigms of what liberation means through themes of economic empowerment, agricultural equality, art, wellness imperatives, culture, and community.
The event will be attended by Professor Dale Green, who has an ancestry intertwined with some of the most consequential individuals in American history; including his maternal line of Bishop Alexander Wayman and Frederick Douglass, and his paternal line of Reverend Samuel Green and Harriet Tubman. Mr. Green will be in attendance along with five additional family members, all of the same lineage.
