Slave Narratives
During the Great Depression of the 1930's, the Federal Writers Project collected the personal stories of 2000+ former slaves. Beginning in 1972, retired Detroit librarians Ola Mae Spinks and Phillys G. Williams began organizing the material that is now available for viewing at the Library of Congress website. In addition to the type written narratives, click on "Collection Items" to see photographs of the participants. source: ResearchBuzz
