Learn about the celebrated quilts made by an isolated community of African American women in rural Alabama. Established during enslavement, the quilting practice was born out of necessity and passed down from mothers to daughters for generations. A legacy woven by hand, the quilts have been embraced by the modern art world and featured in museums across the country.
