QUILTS OF THE UNDERGROUD RAILROAD

Sharon herself is a quilter and will focus on the importance of quilting in this monumental way. There were specific quilt blocks that were integral to the success of the Underground Railroad. Those blocks in a quilt that gave the preparatory plan and then directions on that important path to freedom for those escaping slavery.
