About this listen
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.
Critic reviews
"Readers will be eager to point out figures like Mae Jemison and Martin Luther King, Jr., and will perhaps be inspired to learn more about others they do not yet know by sight.....An inspiring celebration of how Black hands have always woven essential parts of the American tapestry." —Booklist
