    Author Charles R. Smith Jr.
    “Book Descriptions: 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 created by many hands, several of the 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.”
