Life as a Slave

In the 1930s, the United States government decided to put people to work. One of the most amazing things that
some of these people did was to travel around the country and interview former slaves.

The WPA (Works Project Administration) slave narratives give us a window into the lives of some of the last men
and women who were alive at the time who still remembered slavery. As you will see in reading the narratives,
they do not always stay focused on slavery, but many times turn to complain about their lives in the 1930s. You
will also notice that some of them say slave days were great. Take this with a grain of salt when you see it.
While some of them may have enjoyed slavery, this was said in front of a white plantation owner who was usually at
the interview. It was also said in the darkest days of the Great Depression.
