"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 people produced more than 10,000 typed pages, capturing the last generation's memories before they were lost forever. Conducted primarily by white interviewers during the Great Depression, these narratives present both invaluable firsthand accounts and complex questions about how power, race, and
circumstance shaped the stories people felt safe to tell. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
