All
God's Children Got Wings:
Tribute
to Former Slaves of Texas
By
Theodore Bolton
Former Slave Harriet Jones with Daughter and Granddaughter, Clarksville |
This is a pictorial tribute to former slaves. Hopefully, this site will invoke their memory and put a face on slavery. All of these picture are from the Born in Slavery: Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1938 website and are in the public domain and can be use as you like. The listed city is the city where the interview was taken. In some cases the interviewee lived his or her life in another city, thus it is recommended that the narrative be read. I have added a link to a page of slavery resources. |
