"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 captured over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals across seventeen states, preserving their life stories before they were lost to time. While these narratives offer invaluable firsthand accounts, historians debate their reliability, as predominantly white interviewers may have influenced how subjects shared their experiences during the Jim Crow era.
