Library of Congress Interviews with Former Slaves by the Federal Writers' Project:: 1936-1938 - Arkansas
In the late 1930s, before their generation's first hand accounts of slavery were lost to history, the Federal Writers' Project sought to capture the "folk narratives" of the Black elders who had experienced the dehumanizing evils of slavery and the rocky—and still incomplete—transition to a freer, more equitable society. Gathered by volunteers throughout the country, these accounts from fifteen states capture the life experiences of African Americans who lived through some of the most turbulent and pivotal years of U.S. history. With so many stories from so many places, this collection is broken into six separate volumes, many of which include photographs of those interviewed.
Volume 1: Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky
Volume 2: Arkansas (this volume)
Volume 3: Georgia
Volume 4: Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia
Volume 5: North Carolina, South Carolina
Volume 6: Texas
