Black Quilters: Hard Topics, Soft Blows (talk)

August 22 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

September 9 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm at Batesville Library
This program coordinated with the 2024 One State/ One Story All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley’s Sack, a Black Family Keepsake by Tiya Miles sponsored by the Indiana Humanities.

Join Dr. Tony Jean Dickerson as she discusses the artistry of African American quilters and the stories they tell in their works. While she will blend her presentation to coordinate with the book, knowledge/reading of the book is not required to attend.

As part of this program she will share multiple quilts that she has made.

Ripley County Reads a partnership with Batesville Memorial Public Library, Osgood Public Library, Tyson Library and Ripley County Tourism. The goal is to promote literacy, community, and education throughout the County.

This program has been made possible through a grant from Indiana Humanities in cooperation with the National Endowment for Humanities.
