Black Men Built the Capitol

Black Men Built the Capitol

$ 22.95

A story most Americans don't know.

Slaves built the Capitol, White House, and other important Washington structures.
The National Mall sits on the site of the city's once-bustling slave market.
The grounds that are now Arlington National Cemetery were once a self-sustaining village for former slaves.

Millions of people visit the National Mall, the White House, and the U.S. Capitol each year. If they only hear the standard story, a big question remains: Where's the black history? Packed with new information and archival photos, Black Men Built the Capitol answers this question. Written by Jesse Holland. Paperback; 216 pages.
