Abstract

The Underground Railroad was a network of people who helped fugitive slaves escape to the North and Canada during the U.S. Civil War period, beginning in about 1831. Quilting was used as a form of information representation (Breneman 2001). This simple classification was designed to relate the symbolic transmission of escape routes and locations of sanctuary. Because it was for use in a children's library, symbolic representations were used to anchor the classes. Symbols are based in the African graphic arts, the Adinkra symbols of Ghana (West African wisdom. 2001), and also from actual quilt practice (Threads of Freedom 2001 and Breneman 2001).
