If you happen to visit the Columbia Gorge Museum in Stevenson, Wash., on your way east between now and July 31, you can immerse yourself in yet a different world still a collection of quilts that witness the life, skills, and wisdom of a 19th century slave, handed down to next generations.
The accumulated heirlooms in the exhibition Ms. Molly's Voice: Freedom and Family Spoken in Fabric are part of a collection created and persevered by a family dedicated to witnessing history, including that of their very own ancestor(s).
His insights and persistence to bring something of significant historical value to our eyes made it possible that these quilts are now making their rounds in museums keen, among other things, on teaching history.
