ABOUT THE PLAY
Aft er his wife and children were sold to a diff erent slave owner, Henry Brown claimed to
have received a “heavenly vision” to “mail [himself] to a place where there are no slaves.”
With the help of James C. A. Smith and a sympathetic white storekeeper named Samuel
Smith (no relation), Brown devised a plan to have himself shipped to a free state by Adams
Express Co. Th is piece represents a fresh perspective of the horrors of slavery and the politics
of the abolitionists movement.
