520    As slaves relentlessly toiled in an unjust system in 19th 
       century Louisiana, they all counted down the days until 
       Sunday, when at least for half a day they were briefly 
       able to congregate in Congo Square in New Orleans. Here 
       they were free to set up an open market, sing, dance, and 
       play music. They were free to forget their cares, their 
       struggles, and their oppression. This story chronicles 
       slaves' duties each day, from chopping logs on Mondays to 
       baking bread on Wednesdays to plucking hens on Saturday, 
       and builds to the freedom of Sundays and the special 
       experience of an afternoon spent in Congo Square.
