"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from…" is a collection of oral histories compiled between 1936 and 1938. Created by the Federal Writers' Project, it documents over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved people across seventeen states. These first-hand accounts preserve memories from the last generation to experience slavery directly. The collection sparked controversy due to predominantly white interviewers potentially influencing testimonies, yet remains an invaluable historical resource now available digitally, offering intimate glimpses into both antebellum slavery and Depression-era America.
