Over de Auteur
Josiah Henson was an American author, abolitionist, and minister who became a prominent figure in the anti-slavery movement in the United States. Born into slavery in Maryland, Henson's early life was marked by hardship and struggle. He escaped from slavery in 1830 and eventually settled in Canada, where he became a leader in the abolitionist community. Henson's experiences served as the basis for his autobiography, which provided a firsthand account of the brutal realities of slavery and inspired many to join the fight for emancipation.
