Show notes
So sorry about the audio!
The term we know as “Uncle Tom” is NOT based on a man named Tom. It’s actually the title of a book.. And the man the book was written about, spoiler alert, was NOT A SELL OUT like so many of us have come to believe. In fact, he was an enslaved man that was intelligent, freakishly strong, a husband AND the father of 12 children that just wanted to protect his family and LEGALLY pay his way to freedom. So how did his legacy get twisted into something that it’s not??
JOIN US as we discuss who “Uncle Tom” REALLY was. And his name was Josiah Henson.
