The Classic Slave Narratives by Henry Louis Gates Jr.

challenging dark emotional informative sad slow-paced

5.0

This first person accounts of the atrocities of slavery was very moving. There were a lot of details that one doesn’t typically think about that came to light, such as people being woken up from screams. Horrifying and heartbreaking, it’s very important that we keep narratives such as these alive by continuing to engage with them so no one forgets how the world used to operate.
