Twelve Years a Slave
African Americans have created many significant agricultural and technical products and services which led to the development of the economic infrastructure of this country.
Solomon Northup Foundation, (SNF) created and operated by descendants of Solomon Northup 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 man, in the 1800's, was kidnapped and sold into slavery where he was kept for twelve years. Upon being rescued from slavery, Solomon documents his experience in his book, Twelve Years a Slave, which became the Oscar award winning movie in 2014, produced by Fox Searchlight, as 12 Years a Slave.
The SNF continues, "Keeping the Flame Burning" on our ancestor's contributions since the first African Landing 400 Years ago. Please help us continue our mission by donating to the SNF; click on the Donate Button above. Your donation is tax deductible.
