The Skanner News - On View This Weekend: Afro-American Heritage Bicentennial Commemorative Quilt
This holiday weekend only, July 1-5, Oregon Historical Society will be exhibiting for the Afro-American Heritage Bicentennial Commemorative Quilt. Each square of the Afro-American Heritage Bicentennial Commemorative Quilt, crafted from 1974 to 1976 by 15 Black women from Portland in honor of the American Bicentennial, highlights a Black individual or moment in history. It was last on view at OHS in October 2020, when vandals shattered windows in OHS’s pavilion and stole the quilt from its display.
