I Am Black History — My Quilt “From Africa to Atlanta By Way of Arkansas”

From Africa to Atlanta by Way of Arkansas, 72 X 72 inch memory quilt by O.V. Brantley, 2000. NFS.

Never forget where you came from as you try to get to where you going. This is a mantra that is always floating around in my head.

That is why my memory quilt From Africa to Atlanta By Way of Arkansas is so special to me. It is a living breathing quilt that documents my black history journey.

Happy Black History Month!
