Synopsis
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., This powerful tribute to the erection of the White House shows the many faces of those who toiled to build the president's home, brick by brick. These slaves endured hard, brutal work, and the profit of the labor was paid to the master, not the slave. They were fed small rations of food and lived in huts. The fact that many slaves were able to purchase their freedom after earning money from learning a trade speaks to the strength of each of those individuals and is a poignant reality. The title Brick by Brick reflects how this towering symbol of America was created with very human hands and is a testament to the tremendous work of those who built it, those who we honor with this beautiful book., The president of a new country needs a new home, so many hands work together as one. Black hands, white hands, free hands, slave hands. In this powerful story of the building of the White House, Coretta Scott King Award winners Charles R. Smith Jr. and Floyd Cooper capture the emotion and toil that created this incredible structure, the home of our president. The White House was built by many hands, several of them slaves', who will be remembered throughout history for their extraordinary feat. Many slaves were able to purchase their freedom after earning money from learning a trade through this work, which speaks to their unbelievable strength. The title reflects how this towering symbol of America was created by hand, human hands, working toward their freedom, brick by brick.
