Born into slavery in 1789, Henson was an inspiration as he rescued many people held captive during that time in history. Beecher Stowe acknowledged in her book The Key To Uncle Tom's cabin published in 1853, that she had read Henson's autobiography and his life story was her inspiration for Uncle Tom's cabin and the character of Uncle Tom. The life of Josiah Henson should be read in every household with family, friends and neighbors as well as in the school system and a favorite bookclub selection ❤️.
