MAMRH - Mount Airy Museum of Regional History

Back by popular demand, acclaimed actor and playwright Mike Wiley will perform his primarily one-man show (with audience participation) called One Noble Journey: A Box Marked Freedom.  Henry “Box” Brown was an African American born into slavery in 1816  in Virginia. He devised an ingenious escape plan - sealing himself in a wooden box for shipment to friends and freedom in Philadelphia.

This program will be held on the 3rd floor of the Museum at 7pm on Friday March 21 and is Free to the public, however donations are welcome.

This project receives support from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources, with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Surry Arts Council.
