Happy Black History Month

Village Values by Aleathia Chisolm

The featured quilt will help us kick off our Black History Month celebrations. It is entitled Village Values, and it was created by Aleathia Chisholm.

The center of the quilt is a strip quilt made of African fabrics. Aleathia embroidered the words “unity”, “purpose”, “community” and “culture” in the border of the quilt to give the quilt extra meaning.

We hope you will take a moment this month to reflect upon and celebrate the amazing contributions that African Americans have made to our country.
