About
"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from…" is a collection compiled between 1936 and 1938 by the Federal Writers' Project. The work preserves over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals, totaling more than 10,000 typed pages. These testimonies capture the final generation's memories of slavery before emancipation. However, the collection remains controversial—primarily white interviewers documented these stories during Jim Crow America, raising questions about bias and whether interviewees could speak freely about their experiences.
