Environmental Protection in United States

<p>Excerpts in print & on audiotape from the true story of Solomon Northup, a free African American from New York who was kidnapped & sold into slavery in Louisiana. He lived as a slave for 12 years before regaining his freedom in 1853. Northup told of his harrowing experiences in a full-length book which Frederick Douglass called truth that is "stranger than fiction." African American actor/singer Wendell Brooks dramatically retells this moving story, enhancing the text by singing work songs & spirituals from the period. Actor Ossie Davis calls it "a powerful work. I recommend it without reservation." Reviewed in SLJ, 5/93, p. 71. BOOKLIST, 5/15/93, p. 1716, calls this 48-page illustrated excerpt: "excellent primary source material for the study of slavery in the United States." Also recorded on three 30-minute audiocassettes, TWELVE YEARS A SLAVE is excellent for schools, fifth grade through junior college. Also for church groups, other adult settings.
