This work aims to preserve the voices and experiences of those who lived through slavery, emphasizing their personal stories, struggles, and resilience. The narratives provide invaluable insights into the lives of African Americans before and after emancipation, illustrating the rich tapestry of their experiences. At the start of the volume, the narratives by individuals like James Monroe Abbot, Betty Abernathy, and Aunt Hannah Allen introduce readers to their pasts, recounting vivid memories of life as slaves in Missouri. Each participant shares their unique experiences, from the harsh realities of labor and punishment to moments of joy and community. Abbot recalls the oppressive conditions under his master and the relief felt when emancipation came, while Abernathy recounts her family's desperate attempts to escape the cruelty of slavery. These introductions set the tone for a deeply personal and poignant collection that seeks to honor the legacy of those who suffered under bondage.
