The Works Progress Administration (renamed in 1939 as the Work Projects Administration; WPA) was the largest and most ambitious American New Deal agency, employing millions of unemployed people (mostly unskilled men) to carry out public works projects,[1] including the construction of public buildings and roads. In a much smaller but more famous project, the Federal Project Number One, the WPA employed musicians, artists, writers, actors and directors in large arts, drama, media, and literacy projects.[1] [mehr]

Walk alongside the resolute men and women in REMEMBERING SLAVERY as they portray the real world in which they struggled and endured as slaves. Experience the harsh and often brutal reality of slavery as it really was; the beatings, the humiliation, the long hours and back-breaking work, and the seemingly endless days of cruelty and hardship. Their personal accounts expose the undeniable and often uncomfortable truths, both good and evil, attendant to life in bondage. The personal accounts of 24 former slaves presented in REMEMBERING SLAVERY expose the harsh and often painful tribulations they endured while living in bondage, transcribed in their own words and recorded for posterity. These first-person testimonials open a window into the past, thus enabling contemporary readers a rare opportunity to share the trials, fears, frustrations, hopes, and visions of these African Americans caught up in the maelstrom that was the 1800’s Antebellum Period.

ECHOES of SLAVERY – Volume II During the Depression years between 1936 and 1938, the WPA Federal Writers' Project (FWP) sent out-of-work writers in seventeen states to interview ordinary people in order to document their life stories. Initially, only four states involved in the project (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia) focused on collecting the stories of people who had once been held in slavery. In 1937 the WPA directed the remaining states involved in the project to conduct interviews with former slaves as well. Federal field workers were given instructions regarding the kinds of questions to ask their informants and how to capture their dialects, the result of which may occasionally be offensive to contemporary readers. The field workers often visited the people they interviewed twice in order to gather as many recollections as possible. Sometimes they took photographs of the informants and their dwellings. The completed narratives were then turned over to their state's FWP director for editing and eventual transfer to Washington, D.C. The former slave narratives presented in Volume II - ECHOES of SLAVERY represent a small segment of more than two thousand first-person accounts of actual slave experiences, transcribed in their own words by the FWP and recorded for posterity. These first-person testimonials open a window into the past, enabling contemporary readers a rare opportunity to share the trials, fears, frustrations, hopes, and visions of those individuals caught up in the maelstrom that was 1800’s America. Walk alongside these resolute men and women in ECHOES of SLAVERY - Volume II as they portray the real world in which they struggled and endured.
