📜 Henry Box Brown, born into slavery in 1815 or 1816, faced the heart-wrenching separation from his family when they were sold away in 1848. Driven by the dream of freedom, he devised a daring plan. In 1849, Brown convinced a storekeeper to ship him to freedom in a 3x2x2-foot wooden crate. On March 29, 1849, he climbed into the box, carrying water and a tool for boring air holes. Nailed shut by friends, the box traveled from Richmond, Virginia to Philadelphia, enduring two inversions during the 27-hour journey. Emerging as a free man, Brown dedicated his life to abolitionism, lecturing on the evils of slavery and co-authoring the "Narrative of Henry Box Brown" in 1849. His impact expanded with the opening of "Henry Box Brown’s Mirror of Slavery," a moving panorama, in Boston in 1850. Fearing reenslavement, Brown relocated to England in 1850, where he continued to lecture, present his panorama, and even performed as a hypnotist. In 1875, he returned to the United States, embracing a new chapter as a magician, accompanied by his second wife and daughter. Henry Box Brown passed away on June 15, 1897, in Toronto. His legacy endures as a powerful symbol of the Underground Railroad and the indomitable thirst for freedom among enslaved Black Americans. 🗓️✊ #BlackHistoryMonth #HenryBoxBrown #AmericanHistory #FreedomFighter
