What Happened to Solomon Northup?

Solomon Northup was a free black man living in Saratoga Springs, NY, when in 1841 he was lured into leaving the state, and was sold into slavery. After being rescued nearly 12 years later, he authored a book, Twelve Years a Slave, about his life. David Fiske has been researching what happened to Northup, and will highlight some of Northup's interesting anti-slavery activities after he returned to the north.
