"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from…" is a collection of oral histories compiled between 1936 and 1938 by the Federal Writers' Project. The work preserves over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved people, documenting their memories and experiences. While invaluable for capturing stories that would otherwise have been lost, the collection remains controversial due to its primarily white interviewers and questions about how race relations shaped these
testimonies during the Jim Crow era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
