Remembering Slavery: African Americans Talk About Their Personal Experiences of Slavery and Emancipation Revised Edition,

Remembering Slavery presents first-person accounts from the last generation of Americans who lived as slaves. These memories were recorded on paper and primitive recording devices by WPA workers during the 1930s. The book brings together these voices in a single volume, offering a direct historical record of slavery in America based on personal testimony. Originally published over two decades ago, the book received widespread attention including reviews in major publications and coverage on television programs such as Good Morning America, Nightline, CBS Sunday Morning, and CNN. This revised edition includes a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed.
