FORMER SLAVE
NARRATIVES In 1929, an effort began at Fisk University in
Tennessee and Southern University in Louisiana to document the life stories of
these former slaves. Kentucky State College continued the work in 1934 and
from 1936-1939, the Federal Writer's Project (a federal work project that was
a part of The New Deal) launched a coordinated national effort to collect
narratives from former slaves. Original source: Works Project Administration. Federal Writers
Project. Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews
with Former Slaves. Washington, D.C.: n.p.
