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.
