How to Donate
With your support, we will build a monument to Solomon Northup in Marksville, LA that honors his pursuit of inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people, through his persistence to counsel and guide other slaves seeking freedom on the Underground Railroad system, and to commemorate the tragedies of slavery and American slave history. If you believe that all persons shall live a life of freedom and not be subject to modern day slavery or human trafficking, and shall receive equal justice through the legal system, join our community of supporters today.
