November 21 11am ~ Quilts and the Underground Railroad
Did quilts hold codes to the Underground Railroad? Two historians say African American slaves may have used a quilt code to navigate the Underground Railroad, but others say differently. Would you be able to find your way to the North and freedom following quilt patterns? Join Pastor Peggy as we discuss the use or not of such patterns as “Wagon Wheels,” “Tumbling Blocks,” and Bear’s Paw” to direct slaves to freedom. For more info, see pg. 5 of the newsletter.
