Description
Josiah Henson's life is an epic tale of a man's battle against evil. By the time he was six, Josiah had been sold three times. When he was nine, his family's owner beat him for trying to learn to read. After his escape, Josiah became an advocate for those still in bondage. As a conductor on the Underground Railroad, he led 118 slaves to safety.
