Today ends Black History Month. Among the most famous books of the Antebellum South is Solomon Northup's Twelve Years a Slave. Published in 1857. It is the story of a free Black man who is kidnapped and forced into slavery in the deep south. After twelve years in captivity, with the help of friends in the north, he is freed. As it turns out, there's an interesting backstory to the book. With the help of a knowledgeable friend, I became aware of the story of Sue Eakin. Apparently, a lot of people, many with ulterior motives tried to discredit Northup's book. Some saying it was nothing more than fiction. Eakin spent her lifetime proving that the book was indeed accurate and truthful. Over the course of decades, she substantiated virtually every detail of Northup's book. Leaving no doubt as to a free Black man spending, Twelve Years a Slave.
