Description
"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves" is a collection compiled between 1936 and 1938 by the Federal Writers' Project. Over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved people across seventeen states preserved more than 10,000 pages of firsthand accounts. These voices captured the last generation's memories before they were lost forever. However, the predominantly white interviewers sparked debate about bias and how racial dynamics shaped these testimonies, raising questions about historical truth and representation.
