Description
"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from..." is a collection compiled between 1936 and 1938 by the Federal Writers' Project. Over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals were conducted across seventeen states, preserving their life stories before they were lost forever. These testimonies offer direct accounts of slavery from those who lived it, though the use of primarily white interviewers has sparked ongoing debate about bias and authenticity in how these crucial voices were recorded and represented.
