Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves, Volume IV, Georgia Narratives, Part 2

"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from..." is a collection of histories undertaken by the Federal Writers' Project between 1936 and 1938. The project documented over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals across seventeen states, preserving their memories before that generation disappeared. However, because predominantly white interviewers conducted these interviews during the Jim Crow era, historians debate whether the accounts were shaped by racism and power dynamics, making the collection both invaluable and contested as historical evidence.
