Abstract:
Retells the life of the legendary African American hero who raced against a steam drill to cut through a mountain. Join John Henry on a scenic journey where he finds men of all colors working together to build a great railroad. In no time, John Henry becomes king of the railroad camps by driving more steel than any man alive. In an exciting contest that pits man against machine, he single-handedly out-performs a new-fangled steam drill. This rousing tale delivers an inspirational message about pride and perseverance.
