Book 5: The Conjure Woman by Chesnutt uses folklore, dialect, memory, and irony to examine slavery's legacy.

Book 6: Memories of Childhood's Slavery Days by Annie L. Burton recalls enslavement, family, emancipation, and early life after bondage.

Book 7: The Journal of Negro History, Vol. I, associated with Carter G. Woodson's pioneering historical work, presents scholarship on Black history and historical recovery.

Book 8: The Narrative of Bethany Veney, a Slave Woman tells of slavery, family separation, faith, and freedom.

Book 10: Thirty Years a Slave by Louis Hughes recounts the author's enslavement, endurance, escape, and life after freedom.
