Sometimes, the ex-slave in these recordings was hesitant to talk about painful memories of slavery. And yet he or she found ways to "tell all the children my story." We are fortunate to have this small but significant collection of recordings. This World Wide Web site and its contents are dedicated to the memory of these ex-slaves |
