FILE- In this July 18, 2012, film publicity image released by Fox Searchlight, Chiwetel Ejiofor portrays Solomon Northup in a scene from &quot;12 Years A Slave.&quot; Thanks to Northup’s memoir, which the film was based on, historians know where Solomon Northup was born, where he lived and where he worked. Much of his life is part of the record but no one knows when and how he died or where he is buried. (AP Photo/Fox Searchlight Films, Jaap Buitendijk, File)
