UNC-Chapel Hill maintains a collection of every autobiographical slave narrative published in English before 1920. This summer I've been reading all of them for my book. 104 down, 190 to go.

@PhuzzieSlippers Excellent work. It's got to be draining and at times soul sucking. But it's also important.

@mignon_moore Too early to tell! Some things have stood out as fascinating, but right now I'm just working on building a database of certain types of violence. Then I'm going to go back and analyze it more systematically.

@416ppm 🤷🏿‍♂️ LOL! Probably more stressful than I realize, but I definitely feel heavy sometimes while reading. When it becomes too much I stop.
