On this episode of Moments Almanac, we remember Josiah Henson, born June 15, 1789.  Born into slavery, he became a preacher, abolitionist, community builder, and advocate for freedom.

His story reminds us that while we cannot always choose our circumstances, we can choose our character. Through faith, integrity, and perseverance, Josiah Henson overcame evil with good and left a legacy that still speaks today.
