This collection documents the voices of former slaves through interviews that recount their experiences and memories of slavery in America. The narratives reflect on various aspects of slave life and their perspectives on freedom, providing a vital firsthand account of this significant historical period. The opening of this work presents a rich tapestry of individual stories from several former slaves, such as Cinto Lewis and Hagar Lewis, who narrate their childhood experiences on plantations, the relationships they had with their masters, and their feelings on emancipation. Each narrative varies in detail, reflecting different regions and experiences, but all share common themes such as hardship, resilience, and the quest for a better life after slavery. The interviews not only illustrate the painful realities of enslavement but also capture moments of humanity, community, and the longing for freedom that define their lives before and after the Civil War.
