Sinopsis

In the 1930s, the Federal Writers' Project hired writers to interview as many former slaves as they could find and document their lives during slavery. With this volume, Blair continues its Real Voices, Real History series with selections from interviews with former Alabama slaves. It also includes an excerpt from Thirty Years a Slave by Louis Hughes. Williams is the founding director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Klanwatch Project and editor-in-chief of NewSouth Books in Montgomery, Alabama.

Acerca del autor

Horace Randall Williams describes himself as “among the last of Alabamians - black or white - who have memories of picking cotton by hand not for a few minutes to see how it felt but because I needed the few dollars I would get for a day’s hard labor under a hot sun,” an experience he says helped him recognize the cadences and dialect in the slave narratives. An Alabama native, he was the founder and, for many years, the director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Klanwatch Project. He is the co-founder and editor of NewSouth Books in Montgomery, Alabama.
