Join us Saturday, July 9th at 2pm for the Solomon Northup Scripter Award presentation. In Support of the current Black History exhibit at Brookside Museum, Melissa Howell, a Solomon Northup descendant, has loaned the Scripter Award, presented on behalf of Solomon Northup by the University of Southern California, to the Saratoga County History Center, along with other memorabilia to be displayed. The Award honors Northup and recognizes the work of screenwriter John Ridley who wrote the script for the 2013 movie “12 Years a Slave”.  Ms Howell will present the Award along with a talk entitled “Embracing the Legacy of Solomon Northup” at Brookside Museum.
