Black Lives Matter Quilt of Heroes

Black history is American history.  The civil rights movement exemplifies our ever-continuing struggle to achieve the most important of our founding ideals. The specific biographies of individual black Americans give proof of the resiliency, creativity, and determination of our national character.  These heroes we celebrate are some of the most valuable threads in our American tapestry and tightly bind our country’s connection to the world’s history of individual and human rights.

To learn more about the 13 Guiding Principles of the Movement for Black Lives and how to talk about them with kids, please click here.

If you would still like to add a square, you can upload here until the end of February.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this quilt. It is truly a beautiful work of art and representation of Black Heroes of the past, present and the future to come!
