Solomon Northup Foundation was created and is operated by descendants of Solomon Northup. We are "Keeping the Flame Burning" for our ancestor and other African Americans who lived during the slavery era in the United States of America. Solomon Northup, a free Black man living the American Dream in the 1800's, was kidnapped and sold into slavery. Upon being rescued from slavery Solomon documents his experience in a book, Twelve Years a Slave, which became the Oscar award winning movie in 2014, produced by Fox Searchlight, 12 Years a Slave.
