"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 people across seventeen states preserved their firsthand accounts before they were lost forever. These testimonies, conducted primarily by white interviewers during the Great Depression, sparked debate about bias and authenticity while offering irreplaceable glimpses into both antebellum
slavery and Jim Crow-era race relations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
