Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from…
"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from..." is a collection undertaken by the Federal Writers' Project between 1936 and 1938. The project captured over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals across seventeen states, preserving their life stories for future generations. These testimonies offer direct accounts of slavery from those who experienced it, though historians debate how the predominantly white interviewers may have influenced the narratives. The collection
represents both an invaluable historical resource and a complex document shaped by its time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
