Is that the 'real' Box?

Many students have shared the story "Henry's Freedom Box " by Ellen Levine with the beautiful pictures by Kadir Nelson.  Upon entering the museum, students asked "Is that the 'real' box?"  Henry's Freedom Box tells the true story of how Henry Brown mails himself in a crate to freedom.  A replica of the box has caught the interest of many visitors.  "How strong was Henry's desire to be free to subject himself to the 27 hour trip, much of which was spent upside down?" Read and find out more about Henry "Box" Brown from the library.  The animated version of the story, "The Journey of Henry Box Brown" is available in the school library.  More museum adventures tomorrow.
