Stephen Northup: Stephen Northup (roughly 1630 – after 1687) was an early settler of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and built what may be the oldest house still standing in Rhode Island.  Northup was a fairly early settler of Providence in the Rhode Island colony, but accounts claiming that he settled the area with Roger Williams are inaccurate, since Northup was an infant or child when Williams first came to Providence in the spring of 1636.  Northup lived in Providence from 1655 to 1666, after which he moved to the Narragansett country (what is now North Kingstown, Rhode Island), which land was claimed by both the Rhode Island and Connecticut colonies.  He may have owned or operated a grist mill, and is credited with building a house that still stands and is used as a private residence.  Northup was married, had six known children, and lived until at least 1687, when he was taxed.  He was the great grandfather of Capt. Henry Northup who left Rhode Island to settle in Hoosick, New York, and took his slave Mintus who was manumitted in 1797.  Mintus assumed the surname Northup, and had a free-born son, Solomon Northup, the subject of the Academy Award winning film 12 Years a Slave.

Twelve Years a Slave: Twelve Years a Slave is an 1853 memoir and slave narrative by American Solomon Northup as told to and edited by David Wilson.  Northup, a black man who was born free in New York state, details his being tricked to go to Washington, D.C., where he was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the Deep South.  He was in bondage for 12 years in Louisiana before he was able to secretly get information to friends and family in New York, who in turn secured his release with the aid of the state.  Northup's account provides extensive details on the slave markets in Washington, D.C. and New Orleans, and describes at length cotton and sugar cultivation and slave treatment on major plantations in Louisiana.

Run, Nigger, Run: "Run, Nigger, Run" (Roud 3660) is an African-American folk song, first documented in 1851, which is known from numerous versions.  Growing out of the rise of slave patrols in the slave-owning southern United States, the song is about and follows an unnamed black man who attempts to run from a slave patrol and avoid capture.  This folk song was released as a commercial recording several times, beginning in the 1920s, and it was included in the 2013 film "12 Years a Slave".

12 Years a Slave (film): 12 Years a Slave is a 2013 period drama film and an adaptation of the 1853 slave narrative memoir "Twelve Years a Slave" by Solomon Northup, a New York State-born free African-American man who was kidnapped in Washington, D.C. by two conmen, in 1841 and sold into slavery.  Northup was put to work on plantations in the state of Louisiana for 12 years before being released.  The first scholarly edition of Northup's memoir, co-edited in 1968 by Sue Eakin and Joseph Logsdon, carefully retraced and validated the account and concluded it to be accurate.  Other characters in the film were also real people, including Edwin and Mary Epps, and Patsey.
