Barbara!how are things?! amazing vlog! all the best~ 👏

I made a 12 block quilt with all of these patterns.

Using quilts in the underground railroad is a myth! According to historians.

Thank You for teaching us. My favorite quilt pattern is the log cabin. I always use the red center because it was traditional.

So interesting was so lovely to from you all the best Donna from Canada

Wow....I've learned soo much! Thank you!

Excellent history I really enjoyed learning about the blocks meanings!! Thank you very much!!

Fabulous 😉

Love this! The history is remarkable .

Absolutely fascinating. What a beautiful lady. So glad I found this channel.

So interesting and a very good presenter.

I had no idea the importance of quilts in Black American history. This lady’s ability to share the knowledge is wonderful. Could hear so much more from her. TFS. 🦘🐨💜

♥️♥️♥️♥️

I make applique quilts but my adoptive mom is a Civil War quilter and made me an underground railroad quilt as an heirloom. One of my most prized possessions 🤗💜

im just watching this on my moms computer im just watching this for school

This is history,our history that we should never forget.The quilt beautiful and well spoken from a beautiful black woman.This quilt and one of many is just as beautiful as the paintings and sculptures in any gallery of the world and may it continue to be so.

I have been reading Jennifer Chiaverini's book "The Union Quilters" and she tells of the quilts made by members of Elm Creek or surrounding area to use for the slaves to find the correct place to stay. Thank you for this video showing how the quilts were used.

One of the reasons that the 102nd USTA Civil War Black History Group exists, and why People for Palmer Park (PFPP) showcases the group each year, is to include the importance and brutal history of slavery and resistance, and the essential role of Black troops, including this one from Michigan, in ending slavery. For more than a decade, the nonprofit, volunteer-based PFPP has worked to beautify and improve Palmer Park, a large public greenspace and center for recreation and access to nature and wildlife. Community members have worked relentlessly to transform a blighted and neglected park into one of developing beauty that provides accessible, healthy, safe and equitable opportunities for everyone, regardless of income, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ethnicity. We started free community festivals, recreation activities and classes for all ages, a garden, and much more. There continues to be much work to do and challenges to face, but inclusion and equal access to this community park continue to be addressed by a diverse team of neighbors, volunteers, stakeholders, city officials and all who are committed to positive change.

Anyone see the film 'Antebellum'. How is it possible that we as Black people continue to simultaneously be the source of enjoyable entertainment AND targeted hatred for white people?

What I find interesting is the omission of the word 'slavery' in the description of this this 'time honored tradition'. Palmer Park has its own sorted history relative to today's economic schism in Detroit.

Such a fascinating account. I've made an underground railroad quilt.

Thank you for the education on these blocks. I will now go and find more information as it is so interesting.😊

Thank you for Educating me. I have done just a couple of quilts. Amazing, Heart warming history. God Bless you grand Ma. Respect and Regards for you.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I am a quilter and I knew a little of this but not most of it. What is also exciting to m==e is that it was women who were the ones who were making those quilting blocks that were so key to the successful journey of so many souls.

The first North American railroad was built in 1764.

Oh dear God, the Underground Railroad Quilt code was debunked TWENTY YEARS AGO by Leigh Fellner and Barbara Brackman. *bangs head against desk*

I could listened to this woman talk for LOTS longer!!!!!

The legendary Spencer!!

Wonderfully creative!! I never heard Nina Simone like That. Janina and PUBLIQuartet are a gem!

Goodness! I felt like I was there as I watched Barbara Barefield's film and her photographs! There are so many old friends I miss who I don't see much or who have left the planet. I am sooo grateful to Spencer and to Barbara for Being There and for archiving her work then making it available for folk like me that lived during a marvelous time of genius musicians and their fans and advocates! Yes, do another documentary and make that book like a Leonard Feather encyclopedia Detroit-stylee. And thanks for showing us new artists I now love, too, and don't get a chance to get out to follow. We need to get all venues to automatically record the musicians' events and automatically file the recordings in our Detroit repositories' online spaces. Hi Herb! Hey Spencer! Hey Charles! I just love you Barbara Barefield. MWAH!

Great woman!

Love the story and story teller

Thank-you mam for educating me on the slaves. I never had an idea about why the quilts were in done in those designs and now I know the legend behind it so I can share it with my quilting friends!

This is true. I have heard others talk about it. There were quilts with maps too telling the slaved which way to go for freedom.

These are all lies.... there is NO evidence that they used quilts in the Underground Railroad.
