History--United States

Released Today, Voices from the Days of Slavery: Former Slaves Tell Their
Stories

 >From the site, "...the opportunity to listen to former slaves describe their
lives. These interviews, conducted between 1932 and 1975, capture the
recollections of twenty-three identifiable people born between 1823 and the
early 1860s and known to have been former slaves. Several of the people
interviewed were centenarians, the oldest being 130 at the time of the
interview. The almost seven hours of recordings were made in nine Southern
states and provide an important glimpse of what life was like for slaves and
freedmen."
