Voices from Slavery: 100 Authentic Slave NarrativesIn the late 1930s, the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration embarked upon a project to interview 100 former American slaves.

In the late 1930s, the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration embarked upon a project to interview 100 former American slaves. The result of that unique undertaking is this collection of authentic firsthand accounts documenting the lives of men and women once held in bondage in the antebellum South.In candid, often blunt narratives, elderly former slaves recall what it was like to wake before sunrise and work until dark, enduring whippings, branding, and separations from one's spouse and children, suffer the horrors of slave auctions and countless other indignities, and finally to witness the arrival of Northern troops and experience the first days of ambiguous freedom.
Included here are vivid descriptions of good masters and bad ones and treatment that ran the gamut from indulgent and benevolent supervision to the harshest exploitation and cruelty. These and many other unforgettable -- sometimes unspeakable -- aspects of slave life are recalled in simple, often poignant language that brings home with dramatic impact the true nature of slavery. Accompanied by 32 starkly compelling photographs, the text includes a new preface and additional essay by Norman R. Yetman, a specialist in American studies.
A valuable resource for students and scholars of African-American history, this thoroughly engrossing book will be of great interest as well to general readers.

Space-Saving, Stylish, and Surprisingly Strong Closet Upgrade
Color: Black, Size: Pack of 100
I’ve been using these Amazon Basics slim velvet hangers, and they completely changed how organized my closet feels. The biggest difference is how much space they save. Because they’re so thin compared to regular plastic hangers, I was able to fit a lot more clothes in the same closet without it feeling crowded.
The velvet coating is also a great feature. Clothes actually stay in place and don’t slip off, even lighter fabrics like tank tops or blouses. That alone makes getting dressed in the morning easier because I’m not constantly picking things up off the floor.
They feel sturdy too. Even though they are slim, they hold heavier items like jackets and sweaters without bending or breaking. The shape helps keep clothes looking neat and prevents those annoying shoulder bumps that some hangers cause.
I also like the clean black and silver look, it gives the closet a more uniform and organized appearance, which makes everything feel more put together.
Overall, these hangers are a simple but very effective upgrade for any closet. They save space, keep clothes in place, and make everything look more organized without much effort.

Looks more organized than bulky plastic hangers and multiple colors
Color: Black/Rose Gold, Size: Pack of 100
Love these hangers! The cloth helps from shirts slipping off and holds them in place! Stylish and thin so doesn’t take up all space on rack either! I’ve changed all our hangers over to these!
They are very durable and there’s no assembly obviously. I’ve had one break, but that was with a pair of jeans hanging on it and I yanked the jeans instead of pulling the hanger off and taking the jeans off the hanger so I would say they’re pretty durable. There’s a lot of overweight people here and so the jeans and certain items are pretty heavy. I’m able to hang my husband uniforms in sets on them pants and then the shirt over top. Love these hangers.
However, customer service is unreachable and when order you may be waiting for months to receive them!
