Relationships

Spending too much time together can cause resentment from each other as well as from friends and family who don't get the time they deserve.

a view on slavery from the slaves themselves.
In the 1920's, black scholars like W.E.B. Du Bois, Charles
Johnson, and Carter Woodson, started a project to collect oral evidence
from former slaves who were still living. Even these interviews could not
be viewed as 100% accurate. One example, is a geographic bias. The people
that were interviewed were only a very small portion of the millions of
freed slaves. Counting the number of slaves interviewed from each state,
it was discovered that there were only 155 interviews from black people
living in Virg .....
