Here 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 story chronicles slaves' duties each day, 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."--Provided by publisher. 520 1 $a Un preÌambule survole le mode de vie des esclaves qui se reÌunissaient aÌ Congo Square, aÌ la Nouvelle-OrleÌans, tandis qu'une ligne du temps en fin d'ouvrage fournit des repeÌres historiques sur l'apparition et l'abolition de l'esclavage aux EÌtats-Unis.
