A must read.

Some biography’s are so shocking , they leave you speechless. I watched the film of the book , twelve years a slave, it’s deeply shocking , the suffering that he and the other slaves endured, I nearly stopped watching, but thought , it was far worse to live than to watch a film about it. I think it’s good that we read these books and watch the films, as a stark and horrifying reminder of what humans have done to each other. We cannot blank out history, and we never should. So it never happens again.
