2.
Carter's
devotion
to her ancestor is about more than personal pride: it is
about family honor. For Josiah Henson has lived on through the character in
American fiction that he helped inspire: Uncle Tom, the long-suffering slave in
Harriet Beecher Stowe's

Ironically

everything Henson was not. A

in many ways, an

4. Yet this stop was only part of a much larger
mission
for me.
Josiah Henson
is but one name on a long list of
courageous
men and women who together
forged
the Underground Railroad, a secret
web
of escape routes and safe
houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between
1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom.
