The Fibers of Freedom

March 18 @ 1:30 pm

with Connie Martin, Illinois Humanities Road Scholar

Join Connie as she shares the stories of how quilts helped her family survive the antebellum period. Hear how quilts were created with hidden codes and secret messages to assist abolitionists—white and black—as they guided enslaved people to freedom through the Underground Railroad.
