[randomslasher]

People arguing with this saying, “why do people deserve food for free???” is honestly just further proof of the failure.

Did y’all know that there was a project that collected the firsthand accounts of freed slaves back in 1936-1938? Because there were still living people who’d been freed in the Civil War then, but it was recognized that they were getting on in years and would soon be gone? And it was realized that it was important to collect and preserve their stories?

Did you know that you can read them for free on the internet? https://www.loc.gov/collections/slave-narratives-from-the-federal-writers-project-1936-to-1938/about-this-collection/

I read them years ago because I felt I owed it to the people who shared their stories. And they are heartbreaking and horrific, but they are true.

One woman speaks about how she gave birth to 25 children…25! And how she now does not know where most of them are. I will have to go find her account again because I cannot remember her name.

Wasn’t that part of the project to employ writers and other arty types during the Great Depression? I remember reading a lot of them while I was getting my bachelor’s in history. Horrible stuff, but important to know to truly understand the horrors of slavery.

[systlin]

It was, yes. And the fact that many people who’d been slaves on plantations were alive at the beginning of WW2 really hammers it home that none of this was really all that long ago.

I read the Maryland narratives and it was both moving and deeply uncomfortable to hear these people’s stories in the context of familiar places. It’s much harder to treat the past like a different country when I’ve just read the words of a woman who lived down a road I’ve driven a thousand times, who was alive when my grandparents were children.

Also, there was an account from a woman who was born free in New Orleans, kidnapped at age 10, and sold to a planter who wanted his children to learn French. She was reunited with her family at 14, after the war. I know that ‘where the fuck is her movie?’ is probably not the most useful reaction, but we keep making lavish period films and prestige dramas about people who are so much less interesting than this woman, and I’m mad about it.
