The work preserves over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved people across seventeen states, capturing their life stories before that generation disappeared. While preserving invaluable first-person accounts, the collection sparked debate among historians about bias, as primarily white interviewers documented these testimonies during the Jim Crow era, raising questions about how power dynamics shaped the narratives themselves.
