Working for Freedom: The Story of Josiah Henson

Stories of Canada

by Rona Arato

Josiah Henson’s life is an epic tale of one man’s battle against evil and ignorance. By the time he was six, Josiah had been sold three times. When he was nine, his family’s owner beat him for trying to learn to read. In spite of his physical pain and emotional heartache, he never lost the sense of morality that was his bedrock. After his escape, Josiah became an advocate for those still in bondage. As a conductor on the Underground Railroad, he led 118 slaves to safety in Canada. Working for Freedom is the story of a man who proved that one person can make a difference in defending and promoting human rights.
