Description
"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from…" is a collection of oral histories conducted between 1936 and 1938. Created by the Federal Writers' Project, it documents over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals across seventeen states. These firsthand accounts preserve the memories of the last generation to experience slavery directly. While invaluable as historical records, the narratives remain controversial due to being collected primarily by white interviewers during the Jim Crow era, raising questions about bias and self-censorship.
