Mitchell Center Cultural Film Series --Redeeming Uncle Tom

This fall, join us for the Mitchell Center Cultural Film Series, where we screen documentaries relating to Black history and culture. Screenings will be held on Saturdays at 1 p.m. in September and October and are included with Museum admission.
Redeeming Uncle Tom tells the story of Josiah Henson, a dynamic man with unyielding principles, overcame incredible odds to escape from slavery with his wife and children. His life inspired the lead character of ‘Uncle Tom’ in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 classic novel which has been recognized as one of the sparks that ignited the Civil War. Critically acclaimed actor Danny Glover narrates the voice of Josiah Henson in the documentary film. Presented by Maryland Public Television and distributed nationally by American Public Television.
