It's hard for us to imagine what it
would be like to actually be owned by
another person. We're very fortunate --
many people who made great
contributions to our country in the
past have no problem imagining. They
really lived the life of slaves to
other people. Many, like Henry "Box"
Brown, took incredible risks and made
inventive plans to be free. Find out
the daring plans and risks Henry took
to escape slavery. This book, with its
extraordinary illustrations, is based
on
a true story.
