Description
"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. More than 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals were documented across seventeen states, preserving firsthand accounts that would otherwise have been lost. The collection sparked debate among historians about bias, as primarily white interviewers conducted the interviews during the Jim Crow era. These narratives offer crucial insights into slavery's lived reality and continue shaping contemporary discussions about race and citizenship in America. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
