About the Author

The Federal Writers' Project was a New Deal initiative that employed writers during the Great Depression to document American life and history. Through extensive fieldwork and interviews, the project preserved firsthand accounts of slavery, regional folklore, and everyday experiences across the United States. Its meticulous oral histories remain invaluable resources for scholars and readers seeking authentic voices from the past.
