The Journey of Henry Box Brown Reviews:
An Excellent Choice for Helping Young Children Learn About Slavery and Freedom 
2008-08-14 - I first saw this film on HBO last February and have been hunting it down ever since. I am a kindergarten teacher and simply adore how this video was done---everything from the look to the content length was very appropriate for children five and up. It would be great for a four year old too with some parent question and answer time following the viewing. I will be using it in my classroom this year and am also going to purchase Garrett's Gift which is another story produced by the same company that chronicles the many inventions of Garrett Morgan including his most famous---the traffic light. This film was also featured on HBO and is now available on DVD. It is, as The Journey of Henry Box Brown, very appropriate for young children and also features some really great jazz music to accompany the film. Both DVDs are a must have in helping young children learn more about African American History.
Lovely Picture Book Stories
