What an incredible story about a slave who so desperately
wanted freedom that he’s willing to travel in a box by mail to reach his destination. This story tells readers just how poorly
slaves were treated and how some people were willing to help them gain their
freedom.
Henry’s Freedom Box is touching story to read for Black
History month or any month where emphasis is being put on the treatment of
slaves. Students can easily understand
and generate questions. Teachers may
want to create a K-W-L chart with students, ask comprehension questions, or
discuss story element.
