In 2011, Queen Elizabeth received President Obama at Buckingham Palace and arranged for him to view historic material related to Josiah Henson's 1877 visit with Queen Victoria. About Henson's meeting, the Birmingham Daily Mail wrote, "He, the runaway slave, has lived to be entertained by Queen Victoria in her own royal castle. The whirligig of time does indeed bring about its revenges, and not the least of them is … the ceremony performed at Windsor yesterday." Queen Victoria wrote in her official diary about meeting Josiah Henson and his second wife Nancy on March 25, 1877, at Windsor Castle, and during the visit she reportedly remarked that she had read his autobiography "with much interest and pleasure." One of Henson's prized possessions was a framed photograph of Queen Victoria that she presented to him in 1877.
