On March 4th members of the famed Gee’s Bend Quilters Collective will give a lecture as part of The Barbara Lee & Elihu Harris Lecture series, which will be followed by a month-long exhibit of more than 30 quilts at the Joyce Gordon Gallery in Oakland. My guests are the Honorable Elihu Harris, former two term Mayor of Oakland and the Presiding Chair of the Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Center in Oakland, CA. I’m also joined by Dr. Roy Wilson, the Executive Director of the Martin Luther King Freedom Jr. Center and I’m honored to be joined by Ms. China Pettway, Master Quilter from the Gee’s Bend Quilters Collective in Gees Bend, Alabama. https://mlkfreedomcenter.org/barbara-...
