Dr. Jeutonne Brewer (UNC-G) demonstrated a Web site that contains sound clips from the ex-slave recordings. One of the producers of the radio documentary, "Remembering Slavery," asked her to create a Web site for the project. As part of that work, she wanted to make examples of the ex-slave recordings available to faculty and students. You will also find a brief explanation about the background of the Works Projects Administration narratives and the Archive of Folk Song recordings. You don't need a special program or plug-in to your browser to play the sound clips. You only need a Java enabled browser such as Netscape 3.0/Internet Explorer 3.0 or a later version of these browsers.
