"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 documented over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved people across seventeen states, preserving more than 10,000 pages of their life stories. While these narratives offer invaluable firsthand accounts, historians have debated their reliability, as predominantly white interviewers conducted the interviews during the Jim Crow era, potentially influencing how subjects shared their experiences.
