簡介:
A slave, named Henry Brown, mailed himself to Philadelphia, where there were no slaves. Henry didn't know how old he was. Slaves couldn't share the same right as the white men. All the time he dreamed of being released from his master, but the dream seemed farther than ever when he was given to the master's son, and put to work in a warehouse. He grew up and got married with his wife, Nancy, who brought happiness to his life. He was devastated again when his families were sold at the slave market. Then one day, he had an idea that he could hide in a box and mail himself to the North. After a difficult journey in the box, he finally had a birthday, his birthday of freedom.
