Listen to the voices of ex-slaves telling of their lives in bondage, men like Fountain Hughes on the living conditions of slaves in Virginia in the 1860s when he was a teenager. Women like Laura Smalley describing the makeshift church where slaves worshipped on a plantation in Texas. Or Harriet Smith remembering what she saw as a small girl during the final days of the civil war. These recorded memories were among thousands of interviews done with ex-slaves in the 1930s and '40s.
