12 Years A Slave
Solomon Northup, born in New York, was kidnapped and sold into slavery despite being a free man. For 12 harrowing years, he was forced to work at a plantation in Louisiana. While he was held captive, he chose to write about his situation, in a diary per-say. Until one day a Canadian who worked on the same plantation got his story to New York. That’s when New York Governor Washing Hunt helped Northup return home, return home to freedom. Not surprising, unfortunately, is the fact that Northup’s captors never even received punishment.
