Home on the Mornin’ Train
1839, Talladega, Alabama: slavery is alive and doing quite well in the United States.
1939, Hamburg, Germany: Hitler has called for the extermination of Jews.
In this powerful, music-filled drama, the lives of Jewish children in hiding and African-American children fleeing slavery are woven together in a parallel journey of courage and survival. As the Jewish children plan their escape to Denmark, they draw strength from the story of Brave Mary, a teenage runaway slave on the Underground Railroad. Their stories unfold across time and place, revealing a shared resilience and reminding us that the fight for freedom and justice is a universal and ongoing struggle.
