The Underground Railroad in Quilts? The Underground Railroad, the secret paths traveled by African Americans who escaped slavery in the South, is well documented by historians. Far more elusive is evidence that slaves used quilts as signals to guide their way to freedom. This hands-on talk and demonstration will feature authentic 19th century quilts and modern reproductions to explore some of the ways in which women stitched their politics, history, and mythology into quilt designs. A folklorist who specializes in material culture, Cassandra Gunkel has documented and studied African American quilts and textiles. She also has curated numerous exhibits in Philadelphia and Bucks County.
When? Saturday, February 21, 2009 1 PM; Where? Lower Makefield Township Building, Edgewood Road, Yardley, PA 19067; Cost? There is no charge.; Sponsor: Lower Makefield Historical Society through a grant from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council.
