from the Federal Writers’ Project, 1936-1938. By this point, the American Civil War had been over for seventy years. Most of the former slaves interviewed barely remembered their time enslaved. The Federal Writers’ Project set out to record their memories before it was too. There are more than 2,300 first-person accounts of slavery and 500 black-and-white photographs of former slaves, available online here.
