“Black Genius means validation and confirmation of the resilience that propelled us from our original arrival on American shores to the present.”
Civic leader and quilter Dr. Kimberly Williams Moore grew up where quilting held families together. Pulling Threads invites you to touch quilts that carry memory, hear the stories stitched into every pattern, and discover how fabric has been language, warmth, and archive for Black families across generations. As you experience the fabric, you’ll discover this truth: the threads that connect us are the same ones that protect us.
