If you are researching former slaves, you will likely find this DVD invaluable. The author starts with the WPA 1937-1938 interviews with former African American slaves. While focusing on former slaves who started out in Virginia, many didn't stay there. They were either sold to other plantations before the Civil War or moved to other states after the war, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, or Texas. The author added information about the person interviewed, including census extracts, death and probate records, photos, and biographies of the slave owner. The information is saved as a PDF, so is easy to save to your computer or print.
