Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves, Volume X, Missouri Narratives
by United States. Work Projects Administration
"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from…" is a collection of oral histories gathered between 1936 and 1938. Created by the Federal Writers' Project, this massive archive documents over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved people across seventeen states. The collection preserves firsthand accounts from the last generation who experienced slavery directly. However, because mostly white interviewers conducted these interviews during the Jim Crow era, historians debate how the power dynamics and racial tensions of the 1930s shaped these testimonies.
