“In their words, our shared history.”
When the Civil War ended in 1865 more than four million slaves were set free. Over 70 years later the memories of some 2000 slave-era survivors were transcribed and preserved by the Library of Congress. These first-person anecdotes ranging from the brutal to the bittersweet have been brought to vivid life in this unique HBO documentary special featuring the on-camera voices of over a dozen top African-American actors.
