Opponents of the Shockoe Bottom baseball stadium rallied again Thursday, this time with a boost from a famous name: Solomon Northup.
At a rally in the Bottom on Thursday evening, descendants of Northup, whose story is featured in the Oscar-winning film “12 Years a Slave,” read from their ancestor’s account of his experience in a Shockoe slave jail in 1841. Link
