1619NCBW "A Stories Quilt" 

In October 2019, the 1619 National Celebration of Black Women held its exhibit at the Women's Museum of California. During the exhibition, visitors were invited to reflect on experience of being a black woman or to share family stories and reflections by creating images and stories on colored pieces of fabric that testify to the beauty, resilience, and brilliance of Black women who have defied the odds and emerged victorious.

These pieces of fabric are the making of the 1619NCBW "A Stories Quilt
"
