Twelve Years a Slave : A True Story of Betrayal, Captivity, and Liberation by Solomon Northup

⛓️ Kidnapped. Enslaved. Resilient. Free.

Twelve Years a Slave is the harrowing and inspiring firsthand account of Solomon Northup, a free Black man from New York who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the American South. Held in brutal bondage for over a decade, Northup's story is a testament to the endurance of the human spirit and the importance of truth 🕊️.
