Winter 2026 Masters Series Lifelong Learning | African American Quilts and the Stories They Tell

Tuesday, February 10 at 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. In Person

Presented by The Huntington’s Gail-Oxford Associate Curator Lauren Cross 

$15.00 – Members, $18.00 - Nonmembers

African‑American quilts are more than textiles—they are living records of resilience, creativity, and cultural identity. From patterns that carried hidden meanings to designs that celebrated heritage and community, these quilts preserve narratives often left out of written history.
Join us for a special lecture with Lauren Cross, Gail Oxford Associates Curator of American Decorative Arts at The Huntington. Drawing from The Huntington’s outstanding collection of folk art, Cross will explore the history of African‑American quilts and the powerful stories they continue to tell.
