Federal writers with notebooks went out in the 1930s and asked the last people alive who had been enslaved. These are the Kansas interviews: men and women in their eighties and nineties recalling childhoods in Missouri, Kentucky and Texas, the war coming, the day they were told they were free, and the long road that carried them west. Testimony taken down at the last possible moment.
