Description

What was it like to be a women in slavery? TRUE STORIES OF AMERICAN WOMEN SLAVES. African American Studies: Voices of African America Women in Slavery. What was it like to be a women in slavery? Listen to their stories, in their own words. The stories you are about to read are true. They were related to interviewers during the 1930's. Each story was told by an ex-slave or a relative of an ex-slave from the stories they heard or the things they witnessed. The interviews, of which over 2,300 exist, are an absolute treasure of information giving the slaves perspective on their lives during those dark days in American history. Whilst some of the stories are deplorable in the extreme and will no doubt leave you feeling shocked at the level of inhumanity shown to these people, it is with confidence that I believe some stories will leave you smiling and in some instances even uplifted. The following narratives have been dissected from the many volumes of these interviews and have been included in the hope that it offers a broad array of subject matter on which the reader can dwell and ponder.
