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 historical Uncle Tom's cabin in Maryland, to Kentucky, and ultimately to the famous underground railroad. Host Larnelle Harris 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 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 spirituals "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen" and "Great Gettin' Up Mornin'" filmed at Uncle Tom's Cabin Historic Site.
