UGRR Quilt Code Exhibit Activity

Youth Arts & Crafts Activity Pictures 

Covina, CA Library


Half of each school groups went to the Community Room
for the 
Underground Railroad. 

The students could select from 18 UGRR Quilt Code Patterns. 



We were ready for 40-60 students per group,
 ages 7-15 years old.



Each table was pre-equipped with glue sticks, crayons, 


magic markers, fabric, buttons, string, geometric cut shapes



glitter, scissors, buttons, specialty papers and more!



They were encouraged "Have Fun" and
create their own Unique patterns.


I requested that the students sit with someone
they did not know well for the activity.



The organizing committee had their
choice of 5 Patron Activities.

"UGRR Railroad Secret of the Quilts Exhibit"

February 5th-8th, 2014 

Each morning, 2 school groups visited the before the library opened to the public at 11:00 am! We had a brief overview of what to expect during their visit. They could ask me any question about the tough subjects of slavery, human trafficking, abolitionist, methods of escape, African slavery, segregation, racism, discrimination or any other topics they brought up.
 


I promised to provide a safe environment for the discussion and to give them them the answers with documents in the UGRR Secret of the Quilts Exhibit or I would send them to their teacher at school.
