Omschrijving

Commemorate the innumerable ways the African American community has shaped the foundation of the United States in this stunning, poetic picture book from the Caldecott Honor-winning team behind Freedom in Congo Square.

Black hands molded clay, chiseled marble,
rendered portraits, and painted vistas.
Black hands penned literary testaments
that have stood the test of time.

Since the United States won independence in 1776, African Americans have contributed greatly to the nation's culture, politics, economy, and landscape. Black Hands celebrates the countless contributions of African Americans--from building the White House, birthing jazz, and landing a man on the moon to pushing for social justice. Black excellence, however, has too often been overlooked.

Black Hands reunites Newbery Honor winner Carole Boston Weatherford and Coretta Scott King Honor Illustrator R. Gregory Christie to chronicle the remarkable progress of African Americans, even in the face of adversity.
