Joseph's grandpa could do almost anything with his hands. Almost. He could play the piano, throw a curveball, and tie a triple bowline knot in three seconds flat. He could pluck the ace of spades right out of thin air, and carve snowy owls out of wood. But at one time, he could not, under any circumstances, bake bread. Not at the Wonderbread Factory, anyway.
In the 1950's and 60's, factory bosses said white people would not want to eat bread touched by Grandpa's hands, or the hands of any other African-American worker there. And so, Joseph learns, those workers who swept the floors, worked the line, and loaded the trucks, joined their hands together. They wrote petitions, carried signs, and raised their voices so that one day, their hands could do absolutely anything at all in the whole wide world.
