Solomon Northup's Twelve Years a Slave - Chapter 1 | We begin the next phase of our journey together by meeting our new protagonist. This one is going to get interesting.

Note: Listener discretion is advised for this book. It's about slavery; it is bound to get uncomfortable. It's not labeled Explicit because I don't believe the language is gratuitous, but it's definitely worth consideration before you listen. Reading this makes me uncomfortable, and I want you to be uncomfortable listening. Let's do this.
