In selecting only certain portions of interviews to show, aren't you being biased?

Yes, of course. Selection is inherently an expression of bias: we've decided what's most important for our purposes.

Bias is not limited to "political" bias. There are lots of reasons to listen to these interviews -- and you may be watching the interview for a different purpose than ours for showing it online. Perhaps you are studying your county's history, and the narrator talks about your county history in a different part of the interview than the one we show. Perhaps you want to know where the narrator grew up, and we didn't include that portion of the interview, either, in the segment on our website. Maybe you're a linguist or a student of facial expressions. The interviews are rich in many ways.

Since it is impossible to get rid of our biases, we

1) make our biases transparent by telling you what criteria we use in selecting interview segements,

2) will post complete transcripts and videos of interviews online (subject, of course, to the permission of each narrator).
Transcripts are here.
Videos are here, at the Human Rights Documentation Initiative (HRDI) of the University of Texas at Austin Libraries. The HRDI website sometimes takes a while to load; please be patient.
These interviews take quite a while for us to process for online posting. We are working as fast as we can. We're always happy to welcome interns and volunteers.

and

3) make recordings of entire public interviews available (subject to the permission of each narrator). See How can I watch an entire interview?
