Slave Narratives - CR-ROM

For many African-Americans, tracing family connections into the past leads to ancestors who were brought to this continent against their will. Experience American slavery through the words of the African-Americans who lived it. This collection includes firsthand accounts from more than 2,300 former slaves, narrated to researchers in 26 states. These accounts were compiled from 1936 to 1938 under the direction of the Works Progress Administration.
