About the author

The United States Work Projects Administration was a cornerstone of the New Deal era, established to provide employment and document American life during times of economic hardship. Among its most significant contributions is the collection of Slave Narratives, a comprehensive folk history of slavery in the United States derived from interviews with former slaves. These narratives capture firsthand accounts of the hardships, resilience, and cultural legacy of those who experienced slavery. Organized into multiple volumes by region and state, this extensive series preserves vital personal histories and offers invaluable insights into the lived experiences of enslaved individuals, serving as an essential resource for understanding the nation’s complex past.
