| K.C.: | (enters and sits on edge of bed, facing audience) I'm glad this day is over. Some kids were mean to me just because I'm black. (Shakes head) I don't know why they think they're better than me. My teacher says we're all created equal. I don't know what to think. What if they're right? (Gets into bed, pulls covers up to chin, lies head on pillow, and quickly falls asleep) |
| HARRIET TUBMAN: | (entering stage right to stand beside bed, facing audience. Speaks firmly) K.C., you and I need to have a talk. |
| K.C.: | (jerks up, rubbing eyes) What? Who's there? |
| HARRIET TUBMAN: | It's me, child, Harriet Tubman. |
| K.C.: | (staring) The Harriet Tubman? The runaway slave? In my bedroom? (Puts hands over eyes) I must be dreaming! |
| HARRIET TUBMAN: | (sitting in chair) Listen to me. (K.C. puts hands down to look at TUBMAN) I was born into slavery. I saw a lot of injustice in my life, but I didn't let it hold me down. I escaped! I found freedom! |
