"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from..." undertaken by the Federal Writers' Project is a collection of oral histories compiled between 1936 and 1938. The project captured over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved people across seventeen states, preserving their memories before they were lost to time. These testimonies, recorded primarily by white interviewers during the Great Depression, sparked debate about bias and authenticity while offering irreplaceable firsthand
accounts of American slavery's human reality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
