Mollie Williams—Little Miss Mollie
Mollie Williams was born a slave in Utica, Mississippi. But that’s not all she talks about when she reminisces about her childhood in her autobiographical interview with a Federal Writers’ Project staff member in the 1930s. She tells about what she wore, what she ate, what mischief she and the other kids (black and white) got into—even the hoodoo her father used on her mother.
From U.S., Interviews with Former Slaves, 1936-1938
It’s more than history—it’s life.

This is interesting, but unfortunately all the data is for the USA. Even when the heading of webpage includes ‘Canada’ no provinces included.
How can I find Canadian data?
Thanks.
