The compelling true story behind the building of the White House, a
powerful part of history rarely taught. From Coretta Scott King
Award winners Charles R. Smith Jr. and Floyd Cooper.The home of the
United States president was built by many hands, including those of
slaves, who undertook this amazing achievement long before there
were machines to do those same jobs. Stirring and emotional, Floyd
Cooper's stunning illustrations bring to life the faces of those
who endured hard, brutal work when the profit of their labor was
paid to the master, not the slave. The fact that many were able to
purchase their freedom after earning money from learning a trade
speaks to the strength of those individuals. They created this
iconic emblem of America, brick by brick.Includes an insightful
author's note and a list of selected resources.
