Remembering Slavery
When Remembering Slavery was first published 15 years ago, this startling (and bestselling) first-person account of slavery was heralded as 'powerful and intense' (Atlanta Journal Constitution) and 'invaluable' (Chicago Tribune).
Drawing from the thousands of interviews conducted with ex-slaves in the 1930s by researchers working with the Federal Writers' Project, this astonishing collection makes available the only known recordings of people who lived through the enormity of slavery.
