There, 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 poetic, nonfiction story about this little-known piece of African American history chronicles the daily duties of such slaves-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, capturing humanity's capacity to find hope and joy even in the most difficult of circumstances and demonstrating how New Orleans' Congo Square was truly freedom's heart. 521 8 Not rated. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 African Americans|zLouisiana|zNew Orleans|xHistory |vJuvenile films. 650 0 African Americans|zLouisiana|zNew Orleans|xSocial life and customs|vJuvenile films. 650 0 Slavery|vJuvenile films. 650 0 African Americans|xHistory|vJuvenile films. 651 0 Congo Square (New Orleans, La.)|xHistory|vJuvenile films. 651 0 New Orleans (La.)|xHistory|vJuvenile films. 655 7 Video recordings for the hearing impaired.|2lcgft 700 1 Weatherford, Carole Boston,|d1956-|eauthor. 700 1 Christie, R.
