Remembering Slavery: African Americans Talk about Their Personal Experiences of Slavery and Emancipation [With 2 60-Minute Cassettes] Analog audio cassette - 1998

by Marc Favreau (Editor); Steven F. Miller (Editor); Ira Berlin (Editor)

A book-and-tape set featuring the only known original recordings of interviews with former slaves, to be aired on public radio simultaneous with publication. Dramatic readings by prominent African-Americans of untaped interviews complement to incomparable recordings, to create a full, firsthand picture of African-American life before emancipation. 50 b&w photos.


From the publisher

Early in the 1930s interviewers from the Federal Writers' Project combed the American South in search of former slaves. The interviewers spoke with hundreds of elderly people about their experiences in slavery, and preserved the voices of some of them on primitive recording devices. The nearly-inaudible recordings were placed in the Library of Congress, unheard by the general public, but now, remastered with the aid of modern technology, they offer the only known opportunity to hear the voices of former slaves.
