Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

This #Juneteenth, we celebrate the museum educators who do the crucial work of cultivating, preserving, and sharing the history of Black struggle, liberation, and life in the United States. We hope today brings encouragement and fuel for the work ahead.
