Solomon Northup
SOLOMON NORTHUP was born in 1808 and lived as a free man in Saratoga Springs, New York, with his wife and three children until his capture and enslavement in 1841.

After he returned to New York, he published his memoir and became an active abolitionist, lecturing throughout the Northeast about his experiences.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Outstanding writing and narration. An horrific and gripping true story that gives a firsthand account of slavery in the South. This is an education that is relevant to understand the foundation of today’s racial injustices. Highly recommend.
