QR code
"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from…" is a collection undertaken by the Federal Writers' Project between 1936 and 1938. The project documented over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved people across seventeen states, preserving their memories before this generation disappeared. However, because predominantly white interviewers conducted these conversations during the Jim Crow era, historians debate whether the accounts were shaped by fear, racism, and the dangerous power
dynamics of the time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
