Black Pioneers: Legacy in the American West

Experience this first-of-its kind national touring exhibit, organized by renowned historian, artist, and one of the foremost experts on African American quilting history and traditions, Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi. Black Pioneers explores Black History in the American west through a timeline of original pictorial quilts. These colorful, richly detailed works of art chronicle the arrival of Africans in the American West in 1528 to the Civil Rights Movement, bringing to life sometimes overlooked stories and lesser-known chapters in history. The 50 quilts, designed for the exhibit, were created by the Women of Color Quilters Network (WCQN) especially for the exhibition.
