No current book brings the oppressive life of slavery to reality like Remembering Slavery. This unique book-and-tape combination features actual interviews with former slaves gathered by such writers as John Lomax and Zora Neal Hurston as a part of a 1930s Federal Writers’ Project. The text is filled with insights on daily slave life and debunks many popular myths surrounding this dismal chapter in American history.
