John Henry - Part 1 of 2

Disney's short animation about the legend John Henry.
John Henry was a former slave who's mighty strength made him one of the earliest African-American role models. Wielding a sledge hammer forged from the chains that bound him in servitude, he was a one-man railroad crew who "could move mountains". He is put to the ultimate test when he faces a mechanical power hammer that threatens to take away his land.
