The Real Uncle Tom: Josiah Henson (Full Documentary) | Our Daily Bread Ministries

Did you know that one of America's most famous authors, Harriet Beecher Stowe, based her book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" on the experiences of a real man—the life of Rev. Josiah Henson (1789-1883)?

"Josiah Henson: The Real Uncle Tom" will take you on a visual journey from the historical Uncle Tom's cabin in Maryland, to Kentucky, and ultimately to the famous underground railroad.

Host Larnelle Harris shows you how this African-American minister went from spiritual bondage in sin to freedom in Christ; from physical bondage in slavery to political freedom and on to help other slaves to read, write, and learn a trade.

You'll also get a glimpse into the life of Harriet Beecher-Stowe (1811-1896), the seventh child of a prominent preacher in Connecticut. And, as a special bonus, Larnelle Harris sings the spirituals "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen" and "Great Gettin' Up Mornin'" filmed at Uncle Tom's Cabin Historic Site.
