The guide contains interesting, educational and engaging activities you can do with your family before, after or independent of a museum visit. The guide also includes helpful information for when you do decide to visit he Alexandria Museum of Art. This exhibition features photography by Jan Beauboeuf taken along the Solomon Northup Trail in Louisiana. Prior to her experience with digital photography, Jan was a sculptor, working in neon lights. The influence of this artform can be seen in her manipulation of vivid hues in her photography. Beauboeuf grew up in Avoyelles Parish, a place Northup worked during the period of his enslavement. Her experiences during the Civil Rights Movement and memories of her own childhood in Avoyelles Parish fueled the work in this exhibition. This exhibtion is being paired with the Historic New Orleans Collection’s Purchased Lives exhibition. Together the two exhibitions offer a glimpse into a difficult element of our cultural past and a haunting desire for freedom and power of the human spirit.We understand that these things can be difficult to discuss with children, but also know that art is a fantastic tool for education and engagement. Use this guide to follow the Northup Trail and view beautiful Central Louisiana landscapes with your family. Use the tips in the guide to create a photographic record of your explorations with your family. 1 Following the Solomon Northup Trail with Your Family We feature several of the Central Louisiana stops on the Solomon Northup Trail in this guide. For the full experience, start at the museum, and learn about Solomon Northup and what his experience might have been like and move on to the first Central Louisiana stop on the trail,The Alexandria Landing on the Red River, right next to the museum. From there follow the addresses in the guide to see more of the stops on the trail. Use the Smartphone Photography Tips to record your journey. Want an even more meaningful experience? Pull out your smartphone and go to your app store and find the 12 Years a Slave Solomon Northup Trail Guide. This app contains helpful maps, information about each stop and quotes from the book narrated by Louis Gosset Jr. Discussing Slavery With Your Children When discussing the life of Solomon Northup and the realities of the time he live in with your children, certainly slavery must be broached. We acknowledge this is not a light topic, but this can be a rich educational opportunity for the family. Here are a few tips to help you get started: Stranger Danger- Explain that when people were taken from Africa and enslaved, they were taken from their families and home, by strangers. The Loss of Freedoms- Most children will understand the concept of being paid money for a job performed. Explain that an enslaved person is not paid for their work. They often do very difficult work for long hours and cannot do as they wish. They cannot leave if they are unhappy and are held captive. Look for the helpers- Mr. Rogers the childrens television host once said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” Point out that while there were people enslaving others there were also people, both black and white who resisted slavery and fought for its end. Give specific examples, and discuss them while at the museum and on the trail. Allow for feelings- If you notice your child is moved by something that is shared during the exhibition or while on the trail. Let them know it’s okay to have those feelings. You can share your own feelings and let them know it’s normal. 2 AboutSolomon Northup wasSolomon the son of a freed enslaved manNorthup and a free woman of color, born in July of 1808 in Minerva, New York. He was born a free person of color. He and his wife, Anne Hampton had three children together and established a farm in Kingsbury, New York. He also had a reputation as an excellent fiddler and often made money playing at local parties. In 1834, the couple moved to Saratoga Springs, New York where Northup worked for boarding houses and hotels. He also made money constructing the railroad and playing the violin. In 1841, two men, claiming to work for the circus convinced him to travel with them to Washington, D.C. where he might find employment playing his violin. They drugged him, kidnapped him and sold him to a slave trader, James Birch. He was purchased in New Orleans by a planter from Central Louisiana named William Ford. He was sold in 1843 to Edwin Epps in Bayou Beouf. He spent 12 years illegally enslaved on cotton and sugar plantations in Central Louisiana. During most of this time he was a slave driver. It was his job to obtain the best work from the other slaves, and he was sometimes required to beat them, though he sometimes risked punishment himself when he faked or refused to whip other slaves. Solomon Northup in His Plantation Suit Canadian, Samuel Bass, a carpenter who was against slavery visited Epp’s plantation, and sent word to Northup’s friends in New York, who verified that This engraving was featured in his 1853 he was a free man and member of their community. With the help of New York autobiography. governor, Washington Hunt and lawyer, Henry Northup Solomon was released in 1853. His wrote an autobiography, 12 Years a Slave, which was published ini 1853. A movie based on 12 Years a Slave was released in 2013. 3 Art Viewing Tips Visiting the Museum • Allow your children to choose a few art works or historical documents they want to discuss and have them look at them Before you strike out on the Solomon Northup Trail, begin at the Alexandria very carefully.

Solomon is a fabulous character in the film. At first, he had a decent and elegant life. After being kidnapped as a slave, he chooses forbearance and perseverance with a strong determination. After being enslaved for 12 years, Northup is restored to freedom and returned to his family. Introduction In 1841, Solomon Northup is a free African-American man working as a violinist, living happily with his wife and two children in Saratoga Springs, New York. Two white men, Brown and Hamilton, offer him short-term employment as a musician if he will travel with them to Washington, D.C. However, once they arrive, they drug Northup and conspire to deliver him to a slave pen (American slavery) run by a man named Burch. Northup is later shipped to New Orleans along with others who have been detained against their will. A slave trader named Freeman gives Northup the identity of "Platt", a runaway slave from Georgia, and sells him to plantation owner William Ford. Due to tension between Northup and another plantation worker, Ford sells him to another slave owner named Edwin Epps, called Nigger Breaker.

  • 12YAS Notes FINALX
    12 YEARS A SLAVE “Utter Darkness” by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. 12 Years a Slave is Steve M cQueen’s astonishingly brilliant cinematic conjuring of an African American’s bestselling, harrowing memoir exactly 160 years after it was published to great fanfare, just eight years before the start of the Civil War. As a literary critic and cultural historian who has spent much of my career searching out African Americans’ lost, forgotten, and otherwise unheralded tales—especially the narratives of fugitive slaves--I was proud to have served as a consultant on McQueen’s film and excited to see the fruits of his labors. As a cinephile, I also was thrilled to bear witness to perhaps the most vivid and authentic portrayal of American slavery ever captured on screen. That this magnificent artistic achievement was made by a Black British director, bringing an African American’s screenplay so vividly and subtly to life, makes this unprecedented achievement all the more impressive, and all the more of a signal event in the history of film and in the history of representations of slavery in the American South. As I sat riveted during Steve’s film, I also found myself sitting with 12 Years a Slave’s original author and protagonist, Mr. Solomon Northup (1807—unknown), during those first hours, days and nights in April 1841, when, in “the dungeon” of Williams’ Slave Pen off Seventh Street in Washington, D.C., he reckoned with the betrayal that had lured him out of a lifetime of freedom in upstate New York into a nightmare of enslavement in the deep and deeper South.

  • The Inches Gained by Black Women in the Hopeless Battle of Southern American Slavery
    The AlexAndriAn VI, no. 1 (2017) The Power Within: The Inches Gained by Black Women in the Hopeless Battle of Southern American Slavery Saraelizabeth Parker “The Power Within: The Inches Gained by Black Women in the Hopeless Battle of Southern American Slavery” analyzes how black women under the oppressive lash of slavery achieved a level of power and exercised it more than has been traditionally recognized. However, despite their efforts whites largely undermined or restricted it. Moreover, abuse aimed at slaves encompassed physical, psychological, and emotional abuse, and in regards to black women, it centered on their sexuality. Enslaved black women combine two marginalized populations, and, as such, they have suffered doubly from historical narratives dominated and directed by white males. Little is known about these women and their unique history, but as no human can completely subjugate another, they must have exerted their wills in some form or fashion, as an examination of their situation proves. Race-based slavery, a dark blight in the history of the United States, received little scholarship decades following the Civil War. Many of the people who wielded political power and the scholars who wielded academic authority held racist views, which caused a distortion of slavery’s reality, a distortion which received support by historians who described slavery as a kindness to African Americans. For example, Ulrich Phillips painted a picture of benevolent paternalism in romanticized “Old South” in his 1918 work, and it remained the dominant narrative for decades.1 Not only did these authorities ignore the history of African Americans, but the contributions of women also largely went ignored as well, and only in the twentieth century with the women’s suffrage movement did women begin to be heard.

  • 12 Years a Slave’
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2014 An American odyssey of suffering: aesthetic strategies in Steve McQueen’s ’12 Years a Slave’ Loren, Scott Abstract: In her seminal study on racial melodrama, Linda Williams suggested that “variations of the melodrama of black and white continue to be necessary to the way mass American culture ‘talks to itself’ about race” (2001: 301), with cinema as a means for cultures to reflect on unresolved social tensions through fictional forms. Williams’s choice of phraseology is reflexive of the theory informing herbook: melodrama, a protean meta-genre and cultural mode, mobilizes cinematic aesthetic hyperbole and filmic realism, seeking to make an unspeakable moral order “legible”; a “mute text” used to conjure occult knowledge. Configured around signs of virtue and villainy through racial difference, racial melodrama’s Manichaeism of good and evil allows for intense, emotive cinematic identification, capable of reconciling “the irreconcilables of American culture” (Williams 2001: 299). Hailed as the most important cinematic event in years, the critical success of Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave (2013) seems to attest to the continuing legitimacy of Williams’s claims.3 This paper positions 12 Years a Slave in a melodramatic thematics of race. Examining the narrative and aesthetic strategies of McQueen’s adaptation alongside generic conventions, it considers the ways in which the film, as a racial melodrama, negotiates ambiva- lences and contingencies of historic national trauma through a narrative of Manichaean moral legibility.
