More than 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals were conducted across seventeen states, preserving their memories before they were lost. However, the collection remains controversial: mostly white interviewers documented these stories during Jim Crow, raising questions about bias and how interviewees shaped their accounts under such circumstances. The narratives offer invaluable yet complicated testimony about slavery's legacy. (This is an automatically generated summary.) UR - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11422 ER -
