Over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals across seventeen states preserved more than 10,000 pages of firsthand accounts. While invaluable for documenting experiences that would otherwise have been lost, historians debate the collection's limitations, as primarily white interviewers may have influenced how subjects shared their stories during the Jim Crow era.
