Title |
Always There: The African-American Presence in American Quilts |
Author |
Benberry, Cuesta |
Published Date |
1992 |
Summary |
Cuesta Benberry and others have worked valiantly for a more balanced view of African-American quilts. This exhibition, the first overall view of the subject, is a summation of years of research. The facts are not easy to find. When early quilt histories were written, African-Americans were seldom included, as black domestic life was of little interest to scholars and writers. This clearly is no longer true, and we hope "Always There" will encourage African-American families to examine and bring forward their quilting histories. This will enable Cuesta and her colleagues to continue building a comprehensive history of the African-American contribution to American quilt making. |
