Mandanis"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>In what USA today considers a film that \u201ccaptures [the] brutality, [and] reality of slavery\u201d, <em>12 Year A Slave <\/em>retells the story of Solomon Northup, a freeman turned slave.\u00a0 Portrayed by British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, Solomon Northup\u2019s horrific life story is retold on the big screens for worldwide viewing, entertainment, and education.\u00a0 Solomon Northup was born in New York to a former slave father and free mother and had grown up a free man himself.\u00a0 He grew up to become an abolitionist, farmer, laborer and talented musician whose ability to play the fiddle led to his demise.\u00a0 In 1841, Solomon Northup was \u201crecruited\u201d by two men claiming to be with a traveling circus with desires to have him join their traveling show.\u00a0 From what he understood, they would be traveling from New York to the south during their tour of the country.\u00a0 Upon their arrival to Washington D.C., Solomon Northup was drugged and bound in chains in-order to be sold into slavery.\u00a0 He was then transported from Washington D.C. to New Orleans aboard a slave ship with a new identity being forced onto him at arrival: Platt Hamilton. \u00a0Even with pleas to be returned to freedom, Solomon Northup\u2019s cries went unheard and his twelve years of hell on earth began. <em>12 Years A Slave<\/em> gives audiences a look into the horrors of our history and raises connections to our modern history.<\/p>\n<p>Within the opening scenes of the film, the audience is given a firsthand glimpse into the hardships Solomon Northup faced.\u00a0 After waking up in chains, in a new world of captivity, Solomon Northup notifies his captors of their mistake, though in their eyes this was exactly what they had planned.\u00a0 To them and many others, anyone who was a person of color, free or enslaved, only had one sole purpose in life: slavery.\u00a0 During the times slavery existed, there was a division in places where slavery was legal and places where it had newly become abolished.\u00a0 Typically, the northern states became safe havens where blacks were considered free individuals while the south was a place of bondage and cruelty. However, this is not to say that many northerners wished to see blacks in bondage. At this point in history, black individuals who were former slaves or free their entire life were required to carry around documentation proving their freedom: \u201cfreedom documents.\u201d\u00a0 When Solomon Northup tries to state that he was in fact a free man, he is asked to prove legal documentation, only to find out that he could not find them anywhere on him.\u00a0 He had been stripped to bare skin while unconscious with his clothes and papers disappearing along with his freedom.\u00a0 The requirement to carry around documentation proving freedom was one of the major differences between blacks and whites in this time period. After the granting of freedom for former slaves in certain states, laws and regulations inhibiting freedom for blacks were enacted in order to counter the initial abolishment of slavery. In chapter four of <em>Freedom on My Mind <\/em>by Deborah Gray White, Mia Bay and Waldo E. Martin Jr., rules surrounding the strict rules around proof of legal status for blacks is further touched upon \u00a0\u201cOhio passed black laws requiring all free blacks to supply legal proof of their status and to post a $500 bond to guarantee their good behavior\u2026bond requirements for free blacks eventually reached $1,000 \u2013 a sum well beyond the reach of most African Americans (White et. al, 2013).\u201d \u00a0Not everyone was on board with equal living conditions for people, regardless of their skin color.\u00a0 This theme of black individuals having to prove themselves \u201clegal\u201d still exists in our modern-day history.\u00a0 Though not as strict and dangerous, African Americans today are held to a higher standard, having to constantly be wary of how they act with other groups.\u00a0 An example of this behavior being exhibited today is with African Americans \u00a0being harassed by whites when they are in neighborhoods that they \u201cdon\u2019t look like they are from\u201d as well as during bouts with law enforcement.\u00a0 Similarly, to Solomon Northup\u2019s story, even being respectful and compliant is not always enough.\u00a0 It at times costs black Americans their lives.\u00a0 There are too many stories, too many tragedies where black individuals lose their life because some people want to be ignorant and do not want to grant the ability for them to be treated fairly with respect and dignity.\u00a0 Furthermore, African Americans are not held to the same standards as their white counterparts in which crimes committed are being monitored.\u00a0 One of the biggest events in history that emphasizes the disparity in race treatment for crimes was the War on Drugs during the late 1980s-1990s.\u00a0 In this time, \u201cBlack adults made up only 13 percent of the drug users (according to survey data) but constituted 40 percent of those arrested for drug violations (Langan, 1995).\u201d\u00a0 Similarly, within the prison population, African Americans make up nearly 13.4% of the total US population but account for the largest population in US prisons, 34%, in all ranges of crimes.\u00a0 Even after 156 years since the abolishment of slavery, black Americans have to fight for their rights to live fairly today.<\/p>\n<p>The film then moves to show Solomon Northup\u2019s life as a slave working for several owners by the likes of William Ford, John M., an<span style=\"font-weight: 300\">d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">Edwin Epps.\u00a0 During his time under the three owners, Northup endures twelve treacherous years of hard labor, whippings, lynching attempts, and various other forms of torture.\u00a0 He was manipulated into using his talents as a fiddler for the entertainment of his masters and forced to let go of any actions that let him be himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>One of the most powerful lines is delivered towards the closing of the movie, during the end of Northup\u2019s time in slavery.\u00a0 Played by Brad Pitt, Bass, a Canadian worker on Edwin Epps\u2019 farm says to Northup, \u201cI take comfort in knowing I can walk out of here a free man tomorrow\u2026\u201d. This line strikes at the center of earlier acknowledgment in the different treatments between blacks and whites in today\u2019s time.\u00a0 Sadly however, this treatment does not only apply between blacks and whites anymore but rather all minority groups and whites. It is fair to say that in today\u2019s climate, whites do not have to fear walking the streets alone, driving down a road while speeding a few miles or going into expensive stores; whereas minority groups have to always have an eye looking over their shoulder to ensure their safety.<\/p>\n<p>It is 2021, the United States of America seem more divided then<span style=\"font-weight: 300\">ever in recent history and it seems that race is in the center of it.\u00a0 There is so much in which race plays a role in treatment of individuals whether it\u2019s in crime, healthcare, education or anything else one can think of.\u00a0 It is time to put aside the physical differences that set us apart and find what links us together: our humanity.\u00a0 No one is born better than another.\u00a0 We should be judged for our character, not for what we look like.\u00a0 <\/span><em style=\"font-weight: 300\">12 Years A Slave <\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">does in fact give a look into the harsh reality of our history, but it sparks the need to rethink how certain groups have been and are being treated today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1050\" style=\"color: #333333;font-style: normal;font-weight: 300\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/71GtIaVi8EL._RI_-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/71GtIaVi8EL._RI_-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/71GtIaVi8EL._RI_-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/71GtIaVi8EL._RI_-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/71GtIaVi8EL._RI_-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/71GtIaVi8EL._RI_.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1051\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/12YearsASlave7273200-131472._V361272161_SX1080_-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/12YearsASlave7273200-131472._V361272161_SX1080_-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/12YearsASlave7273200-131472._V361272161_SX1080_-1024x704.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/12YearsASlave7273200-131472._V361272161_SX1080_-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/12YearsASlave7273200-131472._V361272161_SX1080_-600x413.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sites.sandiego.edu\/blackhistoryatusd\/files\/2021\/03\/12YearsASlave7273200-131472._V361272161_SX1080_.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><u>Works Cited<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Cole, R.
