The Pettway women of Gee's Bend, Alabama persevere through segregation, family turmoil and Civil Rights. Quilting brings them comfort, each firm stitch a reminder of their resilience. When a museum exhibits their quilts as modern art, their deeply personal stories become a celebration.
Why go? To spend an evening with the gospel songs and open hearts of three amazing women.
Who should you bring? Someone who reminds you that who you are trumps what happens to you.
