Family Art Project: Freedom Quilters of Gee's Bend
In 1966, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visited the Gee’s Bend Community in rural Alabama and the Freedom Quilting Bee was established. The bold patterns and bright colors of these now-famous quilts made from fabric scraps would later go on to fund aspects of the community’s freedom. Create your own fabric collage to honor Dr. King’s birthday and the inspiring women quilters of Gee’s Bend.
At 11:30AM, families can enjoy a storytime program in the Gund Theater; all ages welcome.
