About Solomon Northup

Solomon Northup (b. 1808) was an African American carpenter who was born free in Minerva, Essex County, New York, but was bound into slavery later in life for a period of twelve years. He is the author of the autobiographical account Twelve Years a Slave, which chronicles his experiences as both a slave and a free man. After regaining his freedom, Solomon became active in abolitionism, lecturing widely on his experiences as a slave throughout the Northeast in order to end the practice of slavery.
