This story will be brought to life as Ed Johnetta shares some of her exquisite quilts that commemorate these young women who dared to seek education in the face of hostility\, danger\, and injustice. \nAI-generated image \nFollowing the storytelling\, participants will create their own expressive collage portraits using a variety of images and materials. Each artwork will honor courage\, resilience\, and the power of learning\, and provide participants with the opportunity to reflect on how commemoration helps us understand our present moment\, and provide a foundation for a community’s ongoing vitality. \nParticipants will be able to take their collage portrait home with them.
