Summary: This story follows the history of the women in her family, that starts with slavery and goes Reconstruction, the Civil Rights Movement, up to the present day. It tells the story of how the slaves used to use quilts to show other slaves the road to freedom. After slavery was abolished, they used those same kind of quilt blocks to remember where they came from and to give them courage for the future.
Response:I liked this story because I am a family history nut myself and love hearing about other people’s family history.
