Summary	This collection presents the personal narratives of twenty-eight former Georgia slaves. As editor Andrew Waters notes, the "two ends of the human perspective--terror and joy" are often evident within the same interviews, as the ex-slaves tell of the abuses they endured while they simultaneously yearn for younger, simpler days. The result is a complex mix of emotions spoken out of a dark past that must not be forgotten.
