[12 Years A Slave @12YearsSlave]

I am Solomon Northup. I am a free man a resident of Saratoga, New York. The residence also of my wife and children who are equally free.

[12 Years A Slave @12YearsSlave]

I did as instructed. If there's something wrong, then it's wrong with your instructions.

[12 Years A Slave @12YearsSlave]

My back is thick with scars for protesting my freedom.

[12 Years A Slave @12YearsSlave]

I survive. I will not fall into despair. I will offer up my talents to Master Ford. I will keep myself hardy till freedom is opportune.
