D. Jackson. 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. 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. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 African Americans|zLouisiana|zNew Orleans|xHistory |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African Americans|zLouisiana|zNew Orleans|xSocial life and customs|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Picture books for children. 650 0 Stories in rhyme. 650 0 Slavery|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African Americans|xHistory|vJuvenile literature. 650 1 Stories in rhyme. 650 1 Slavery|vFiction. 650 1 African Americans|vFiction. 651 0 Congo Square (New Orleans, La.)|xHistory|vJuvenile literature. 651 0 New Orleans (La.)|xHistory|vJuvenile literature. 651 1 Congo Square (New Orleans, La.)|vFiction. 690 CALDECOTT HONOR [2017] 700 1 Christie, R.
