Four time Emmy Award-winning actress, Alfre Woodard, tells the true story of a slave's brave and dangerous quest for freedom in The Journey of Henry Box Brown.

Sweet Blackberry takes a magical look at the historic true tale of slave Henry Box Brown, a man who mailed himself in a wooden box from a plantation in Richmond, Virginia to freedom in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1848. This is a story of determination and courage that you and your child won't soon forget!
