Box: Henry Brown Mails Himself to FreedomIn a moving, lyrical tale about the cost and fragility of freedom, a New York Times best selling author and an acclaimed artist follow the life of a man who courageously shipped himself out of slavery. What have I to fear? My master broke every promise to me. I lost my beloved wife and our dear children. All, sold South. Neither my time nor my body is mine. The breath of life is all I have to lose. And bondage is suffocating me. Henry Brown wrote that
In a moving, lyrical tale about the cost and fragility of freedom, a New York Times best-selling author and an acclaimed artist follow the life of a man who courageously shipped himself out of slavery. What have I to fear?My master broke every promise to me.
I lost my beloved wife and our dear children.
All, sold South. Neither my time nor my body is mine.
The breath of life is all I have to lose.
And bondage is suffocating me. Henry Brown wrote that long before he came to be known as Box, he "entered the world a slave." He was put to work as a child and passed down from one generation to the next -- as property. When he was an adult, his wife and children were sold away from him out of spite. Henry Brown watched as his family left bound in chains, headed to the deeper South. What more could be taken from him? But then hope -- and help -- came in the form of the Underground Railroad. Escape In stanzas of six lines each, each line representing one side of a box, celebrated poet Carole Boston Weatherford powerfully narrates Henry Brown's story of how he came to send himself in a box from slavery to freedom. Strikingly illustrated in rich hues and patterns by artist Michele Wood, Box is augmented with historical records and an introductory excerpt from Henry's own writing as well as a time line, notes from the author and illustrator, and a bibliography.

Does what it says
Size: 22" and 22", Style: Latitude Repellency
These are my favorite wiper blades. They install easily on my Dodge Challenger and work well as wipers. But I like the little bit extra of RainX repellency to help water bead off my window in between wiper swipes.

Not streaky!
Size: 26" and 17", Style: Latitude Repellency
These work really well! They are not streaky, which was the biggest thing I was hoping for! They also aren’t too noisy, thankfully! They were easy to install too! I have only used them for a couple of months and so far they have continued working well!

Good wipers
Size: 22", Style: Latitude Repellency
Bought these wiper blades because my wiper blades were old. The new blades lay down a good level of water repellent on the windshield. I actually drove home this morning in a rainstorm and purposely did not turn on my wipers once, and the windshield stayed nicely beaded and cleared, a month after I put the new wipers on my truck. I recently bought my s/o a set for her vehicle. They’re expensive, but seem to be worth it. Very quiet, no chattering, 30 seconds to install on my F150.

Perfect Fit & Easy Install — Replaced Faulty Blade from Another Set
Size: 17", Style: Latitude Repellency
This 17" Rain-X blade ended up replacing a faulty 17" blade from a 5 PLUS set (24"/17"/12") I originally installed.
The 17" from that set had a defective internal adapter — it wouldn’t seat properly on the wiper arm & was extremely difficult to remove. Once I got it apart, the adapter looked warped or misformed. Rather than deal with a full return, I replaced just the 17" with this Rain-X blade.
Installation on the Rain-X was quick & straightforward — it locked in properly with no issues.
Performance so far is solid:
Smooth wipe
No streaking
No excess sound
Good contact across the windshield
Now I’m effectively running a side-by-side comparison (Rain-X 17" vs 5 PLUS 24"/12"), & I’ll update later if anything changes over time.
Overall, this blade did exactly what I needed — simple install & reliable performance.
