Juneteenth Special:The Mystery of Solomon Northrop’s Disappearance

In honor of Juneteenth, I wanted to revisit a past reading centered on the story of Solomon Northup, whose experiences were told in the film Twelve Years a Slave. In this video, I share some of what I remember from the book, discuss Solomon’s incredible journey, and touch on Eliza, Patsey, Emily (Eliza’s daughter), and Randall the enslaved individuals whose story left a lasting impression on me. This reading is not only a reflection on Solomon Northup’s life, but also a moment to remember the countless men, women, and children who endured the horrors of slavery. Their stories, struggles, resilience, and humanity deserve to be remembered. As we celebrate Juneteenth, may we honor those who came before us and continue to learn from the lessons of history. All of this is from my memory recollection not facts. I hope you enjoyed the video. See you in the next one. ♥️💜🫶🏼✨ Timestamp Intro: 0:00- 1:59 Video Begins: 2:02 #Juneteenth #SolomonNorthup #TwelveYearsASlave #History #Remembrance
