Box: Henry Brown Mails Himself to Freedom by Carole Boston Weatherford
4.0
My son is a huge fan of the Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales series and has been asking me a lot of questions about slavery and the Underground Railroad. I can’t answer some of his questions properly, as a non-American, so I decided it’s time I educate myself.
This is a collection of poems regarding the fate of Henry Brown, a historical figure, one of the slaves who escaped by being mailed in a box, from Virginia to Pennsylvania. It’s a very short and poignant listen, beautifully read by Dion Graham. Really worth less than 1 H of your time.
