Unchained Memories Readings from the Slave Narratives

Description

The experience of slavery told by the people who lived it--in their own words. An adaptation of HBO's documentary special for 2003, Unchained Memories is a riveting compilation of more than 40 narratives drawn from interviews with former slaves conducted in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration. From slave auctions to emancipation, the narratives trace the extraordinary experience of life in perhaps the darkest period of our nation's history.
