Using excerpts from the thousands of interviews conducted with ex-slaves in the 1930s by researchers working with the Federal Writers’ Project, the astonishing audiotapes made available the only known recordings of people who actually experienced enslavement—recordings that had gathered dust in the Library of Congress until they were rendered audible for the first time specifically for this set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRemembering Slavery\u003c\/i\u003e received the kind of commercial attention seldom accorded projects of this nature—nationwide critical and review coverage as well as extensive coverage on prime-time television, including \u003ci\u003eGood Morning America\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNightline\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCBS Sunday Morning\u003c\/i\u003e, and CNN. The tapes have been aired repeatedly on public radio stations across the country. Reviewers called the set “chilling … [and] riveting” (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e) and “something, truly, truly new” (\u003ci\u003eThe Village Voice\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow this groundbreaking set is available for a new generation of readers and listeners, offering remastered compact discs in MP3 format of the extensive original live recordings of interviews with former slaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*The audio for this new edition is on MP3 compact discs.
