Summary "The Journal of Negro History, Volume 3, 1918" by Various is a historical journal produced in the early 20th century that explores African American history and contributions. This volume offers reflections on significant figures and events, including accounts of Josiah Henson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's advocacy for Negro rights, and narratives about slavery in various contexts, providing insights into the systemic challenges faced by African Americans. The opening of the journal presents an in-depth account of Josiah Henson's life, detailing his experience as a slave in Maryland and his remarkable journey towards freedom. It chronicles the harsh realities of slavery, including separation from family and the brutal treatment suffered by enslaved individuals. Henson's story unfolds through a series of perilous choices, reflecting on his eventual escape to Canada and his commitment to aiding others in their pursuit of freedom, culminating in his significant role as an inspirational figure behind the character Uncle Tom in Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin." This narrative not only highlights Henson's personal bravery but also serves to evoke broader themes of resilience and the quest for justice within the African American experience.
