FIRST CHARACTER:
The character, Joseph Pickard, is a barber in the town of Lockport in Up-State New York in the year 1825. He appears in a mural, painted by A. Raphael Beck, which depicts the celebration of the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825.
ENTIRE "JOSEPH PICKARD" SCRIPT…
JOSEPH (African-American) - v.o. -
Welcome to Lockport! My name's Joseph Pickard and I am 'specially glad to celebrate this great day!
You see, I've been a barber in Lockport ever since the canal diggers started here in 1822. But one day in the fall of 1823, a couple of slave hunters from Kentucky came here lookin' for runaways.
They was gonna haul me off with 'em until the Comstock brothers and a crowd of Irish canal workers come to my rescue.
They ran them two slave hunters right out of town! Yes, sir, Lockport's Erie Canal "Celebration Day" sure means a lot to folks 'round here, 'specially me!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
SECOND CHARACTER:
The character, "Gentleman George", is an ex-slave from North Carolina, now living an working in the town of Lockport in Up-State New York in the year 1855. The character is roughly 30- to 35-years-old.
SAMPLE FROM THE "GENTLEMAN GEORGE" SCRIPT...
GENTLEMAN GEORGE: (a bright, pleasant voice)
Whoa…[calmly, to horses] Whoa up, there.
[To us] Mornin' to yuh, folks! Welcome to Lockport. Can I give you a lift over to The Lockport House?
I'm George Goines. Folks call me "Gentleman George". Guess folks jest likes mah style. [chuckling]
I been a driver here in Lockport for 'bout ten years now.
I was born a slave, down in North Carolina. Oh yes, back in 1825. But, jest 'afore I turned twenty, I run off. 'Stopped long enough to nurse a man I met in Maryland who'd taken ill. That fella got better, and was so grateful… he took $500 and bought my freedom! After that, I kept headin' north, all the while fixin' on a way to free my kin back in Carolina.
I come to Lockport while workin' on a bullhead boat makin' runs to Buffalo. I liked it here, so I stayed.
I got me a job at the Tremont Hotel…
[The script continues. The above sample constitutes roughly half the script.]
