Reading Harriet Beecher Stowe's UNCLE TOM'S CABIN will readily reveal that, Josiah Henson--an escapee to Canada and A.M.E. preacher--whose autobiography she used to write her classic antebellum novel, was no "Uncle Tom," as that derisive term is cast about by persons who have not read her best-seller, nor little else, as their ignorance reveals. Josiah Henson was the brother of explorer, Matthew Henson, the first man to reach the North Pole. Book club members please read this book soon! Pretty please!
