This volume, part of a larger collection of slave narratives, offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of enslaved people in Mississippi. Compiled through interviews conducted in the 1930s by the Federal Writers Project, the book presents verbatim accounts of former slaves, documenting their experiences of bondage, resistance, and survival. Through their voices, readers gain a visceral understanding of the brutality and dehumanization of slavery, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring impact of this dark chapter in American history.
