About: The Worlds of Solomon Northup is a digital history project that will share the shocking and remarkable story of Solomon Northup, a free man of color from New York, who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841 and then discovered twelve years later, liberated, and returned home. Through text, images, maps, and documents, this site will explore in greater depth the two communities Northup inhabited, in Louisiana (as a slave) and in New York (as a free citizen).
