Did you know that one of America's most famous authors,
Harriet Beecher Stowe, based her book Uncle Tom's Cabin on
the experiences of a real man - the life of Rev. Josiah
Henson (1789-1883)?
Josiah Henson: The Real Uncle Tom will take you on a visual
journey from the historic Uncle Tom's cabin in Maryland, to
Kentucky. and ultimately, to the famous underground
railroad. Join television's Day of Discovery host Larnelle
Harris, as he shows you how this African-American minister
went from spiritual bondage in sin, to freedom in Christ:
from physical bondage in slavery, to political freedom and
on to help other former slaves to read, write, and learn a
trade.
You'll also get a glimpse into the life of Harriet Beecher
Stowe (1811-1896), the seventh child of a prominent preacher
in Connecticut. And as a special bonus, Larnelle Harris
sings the spiritual "Great Gettin' Up Mornin'" and "Nobody
Knows the Trouble I've Seen," filmed at Uncle Tom's Cabin
Historic Site.
