“The quilt depicts how the African American people have contributed to Texas,” Denise Reed, a member of the African American Quilt Circle of San Antonio said.“Some of them are probably people we don’t know, but their story is highlighted here for all to see,” Reed said.Reed said there are several stories behind quilts.
“As it grew and we became more masters of needle and thread, our quilts were also used to symbolize messages such as the underground railroad where the safe houses were,” Reed said.“The exhibit is about teenagers from Fox Tech Advanced Learning Academy talking to their parents about their understanding of civil rights and living on the East Side and changes within the neighborhood,” Veronica Garcia Rodriguez, interim head curator, UTSA ITC said.
They expect people to pay money to see that? It really is a very poor excuse for a museum.
