In Response To: Re: Freedom Quilt (Art Thomas)

Art,

Thanks! As always, you are very helpful. It is, indeed, a very nice article.

Dr. Clarice Boswell does a presentation about freedom quilts. Her ancestors used quilts. She has several replica quilts on display during her presentation. One of the replica quilts was made by my sister, Loretta Adams Parker. Dr. Boswell and her husband will be attending the play in which I am performing the role of Frederick Douglass. Below is a link to an article about Dr. Clarice Boswell and her book in which she writes about the use of codes in the quilts.
