Hundreds of people packed a sold-out theater in Elizabeth Thursday night to watch the latest portrayal of one of America’s most famous abolitionists, Harriet Tubman.
Among those in the audience? Her own descendant—Kimerly Cornish, from Ithaca, New York.
Cornish’s maternal side is descended from Harriet’s paternal side, she said, and she believes she is the sixth cousin, but isn’t certain, since her mother didn’t keep records of the lineage.
More than 400 people showed up to dinner and a screening of the movie “Harriet” Thursday night, which is based on Harriet Tubman’s life and work through the Underground Railroad. It was a private event hosted by the Friends of New Jersey Legacy Foundation.
The film rightly encapsulated Harriet’s belief in freedom for all, Cornish told NJ Advance Media the day after the screening.
“She made a way out of no way, which is when she was told ‘Oh, you can’t do this,’ (and she said) ‘You can’t tell me I can’t do this,’ and she went and did it,” Cornish said.
“And that’s often the way people are. People are always going to tell you what your limitations are, because they’re basically stating their own limitations," she added.
Tickets for the event, which included dinner, were $35. Proceeds went to the foundation’s funds, which are used to celebrate Juneteenth every year with a parade and food, Kim Nesbitt Good, the organizer of the screening and group, said.
“(Harriet Tubman) was an awesome person who believed everyone should be free and not enslaved,” Good said. “She loved all people. She was tough. She let God lead her in everything that she did—that’s why she was so successful in what she did.”

Yvonne and Robert Davis, of Elizabeth, helped organize the screening of "Harriet," the movie about Harriet Tubman's life and work as an abolitionist. Proceeds from the event will go toward the group's Juneteenth celebration, which is displayed on their shirts.
People were excited to see the film and spoke highly of Harriet Tubman’s impact on their lives before watching the screening.
Yvonne Davis, of Elizabeth, helped organize the screening and described Tubman as “always my hero—all the time.”
“If it wasn’t for her, some of us wouldn’t be standing here,” Shirely Trent, of Newark, said, while waiting in line to get into the theater.
Various church groups, organizations, and local restaurants provided the food for dinner, which included collard greens, fried fish, chicken wings, roast beef, biscuits, rice, and potato salad.
Although the film couldn’t include every detail from Harriet’s life, Cornish said, it was “probably as good as Hollywood could produce.”
However, a film about Harriet Tubman’s life is not a great enough catalyst for institutional change, she argued.
“Because frankly, I grew up with people always talking about Harriet Tubman, and the question...as to ‘Will this have a long-lasting impact on white supremacy as it exists in this country today?’ and the answer is probably no, unfortunately,” she said.
Good, who called the movie “wonderful,” said Harriet’s desire was for everyone to be free.
“(Harriet) loved people and she loved people so much (that) she kept her life on the line, to do what she could to make freedom a real word, and not (a word) just somebody used,” Good said.

It’s on HBO now so I finally caught it. Pretty accurate review OP. It’s not as bad as people made it out to be but it’s nothing remarkable about it. It’s a very average film. At least that Michael Jackson looking nikka working with Bigger Long saw the light early.

hit it, & I didn't go Erykah Badu crazy, #yallmad
i saw it, its cool. The lead actress definitely had presence, even if she wasn't pretty pretty, the black dude being the villain wasn't such a big deal, he's barely in the movie. as far as the white savior complex, I didn't see any obvious examples. The superpowers thing was a bit much but it did make the movie interesting
i'd give it 4/5, but I wouldn't break my neck to see it again, but I would see it again before I i'd see 12 years a slave or Nat Turner

She isn’t even her descendant, Harriet didn’t have any children. If you want to go by cousins(which isn’t how that works), you could probably find a common centuries back blood relation for every ADOS in America. What a bullshyt headline.

Harriet doesn’t need to be pretty, she was so much more than that. The problem isn’t her hard-looking face. Cynthia is a British bytch who has no respect for Black Americans despite her attempt to build a career playing our legends and heroes. The big deal with a Black man being the villain is that he didn’t exist! Harriet was a Black American hero freeing her people from heartless White monsters and a fictional Black man was used a deflection.
