“Freedom did not come with your papers. It came when I chose to live without permission!"
Ephraim Slaughter: Freedom’s Witness is a powerful one-act play that brings to life the extraordinary journey of Ephraim Slaughter— a man who was born enslaved, but went on to become a Union Army veteran and community leader. Through evocative storytelling and haunting memories, the play invites audiences to witness the cost of freedom, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring legacy of those whose courage shaped a nation. Step inside a Harrisburg room in 1943, where history breathes, memory testifies, and silence finally speaks.
The project is a partnership with Sankofa African American Theatre Company and Gamut Theatre Group, and in Partnership with the National Civil War Museum.
