Here Is The Original New York Times Article About The 12-Years-A-Slave Guy, Written 161 Years Ago
04 Mar 2014 by Jasmine Stone in History, Movies
’12 Years a Slave’ might be the talk of the town after winning Best Picture at this year’s Oscars, but back in 1853 interest in the life story of Solomon Northup was just as high. 161 years ago the New York Times did an article on Northup’s experience as a slave. They dedicated an entire page to Northup, summarizing the story of free man being kidnapped and sold into slavery.
If you haven’t had time to watch the movie, this 161 year old article will quickly get you up to scratch with the story line of the Best Picture film.
