Solomon Northup was a free Black man living in New York until, in 1841, his life was stolen. Kidnapped and sold into slavery, he spent twelve harrowing years in the Deep South before reclaiming his freedom. But what happened after that? Did he ever find justice? Did he disappear once again? In this episode, we explore the tragic, inspiring, and still-mysterious fate of Solomon Northup.
