@filmsofun: Solomon Northup was a free Black man from New York who worked as a farmer and violinist. In 1841, he was deceived, kidnapped, and illegally sold into slavery in Louisiana. He spent twelve years on several plantations, enduring harsh conditions and violence, before finally regaining his freedom in 1853 with the help of his family and friends. After his release, Northup published his memoir, Twelve Years a Slave, which later became the basis for the acclaimed film of the same name. #solomonnorthup #12yearsaslave

I thought the movie was Emancipation, lead actor Will Smith

Miss Muse :

thank you, I'm so glad there are people sharing these stories. I feel like my ancestors left slavery as they entered the railroads, most didn't really know each other. people tried to find each other once slavery was abolished but you can only find out so much...some never knew there were free black people like this guy
