A picture-book biography of St. Pedro Claver (d. 1654), a Spanish Jesuit missionary to the New World, who is the patron saint of slaves.

In 1991, preparation for the construction of a new federal office building led to a startling discovery: a skeleton. Further excavation exposed the bones of 420 men, women, and children. This area of New York had been a burial ground set aside for both free and enslaved Africans during the 1600s and 1700s.
