Twelve years a Slave, Solomon Northup’s story is told in a simple, straightforward manner with little to no embellishments.  He was a free man kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana. His observations are detailed throughout the text. This book should be required reading  and taught in all American schools.  The American education system needs to stop being an accessory to covering up our history
