-He rescued 118 slaves
-He won a medal at the first World's Fair at the Crystal Palace in London
-Queen Victoria invited him to Windsor Castle
-Rutherford B. Hayes entertained him at the White House
-He raised millions for the abolitionist cause and started a Canadian school for refugees
-He helped start a freeman settlement, called Dawn that was known as one of the final stops on the Underground Railroad
-He was the real-life inspiration for Harriet Beecher Stowe's UNCLE TOM'S CABIN, the novel that Abraham Lincoln said sparked the Civil War

But before all this, Josiah Henson was brutally enslaved for more than forty years before escaping 600 miles to Canada with his wife and four sons. Jared Brock retraced Henson's journey from slavery to freedom and created a documentary to tell the story. The film will premiere tonight (Feb 4th) on TVO and PBS.
