The interviews capture the lived experiences of enslaved individuals, offering insights into the realities of slavery, the challenges of transitioning to freedom, and the lasting impact of these experiences on their lives. This volume provides a valuable historical record of the voices of those who lived through one of the darkest periods in American history.
