Uncle Tom's Canadian Cabin

Uncle Tom's Canadian Cabin, originally uploaded by ujima.

On a tour of Underground Railroad sites in
Ontario, Canada we visited the home, church
and school of Josiah Henson where he lived
after he, his wife and four children fled
after they had escaped slavery in America.
Josiah traveled Europe to speak against
slavery and met with Queen Victoria.
He is the first person of African
descent to be featured on a Canadian
stamp.
