I WAS A SLAVE:
Book 1: Descriptions of Plantation Life |
| Thousands of Former American Slaves .............................. USA |
 |
In the 1930's, thousands of former American slaves were interviewed in every southern state and in a few northern ones. Tens of thousands of pages of these interviews are stored in about four archives across America.
The books remain in their own words -- not rewritten. In their first-hand accounts, they tell what really happened during American slavery . Their words are amazing, tragic, hysterically funny, wise, and spellbinding. |
