- Description
- Editor's introduction to interviews collected under the auspices of the Federal Writers' Project in Mississippi in the late 1930s. The Mississippi editors did not submit the interviews in this edition to the coordinators of the project at the Library of Congress at that time. (For the material at the Library of Congress, see Born in Slavery.) Lawrence argues that this editorial choice must be seen as a conscious attempt at manipulating the historical record of slavery in the state.
