Work Projects Administration creator text utu 2008 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from…" is a collection of histories compiled between 1936 and 1938 by the Federal Writers' Project. The collection contains over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals across seventeen states, preserving their life stories before they were lost.
