>> SO THEY ISSUED A MEMORANDUM
THAT IS AN EXERCISE OF WHAT THEY
CALL PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION,
WHICH IS WE DON'T HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO ARREST EVERYBODY
WHO'S UNDOCUMENTED IN THE UNITED
STATES AND DEPORT THEM, SO WE
WANT TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE TELL
OUR PEOPLE TO PRIORITIZE.
WHAT ARIZONA SAID IS THE
IMMIGRATION LAW DOESN'T GIVE YOU
THAT AUTHORITY.
YOU SHALL TAKE THEM INTO CUSTODY
AND PUT THEM IN REMOVAL
PROCEEDINGS.
SO SOME OF THE DEBATE IS DOES
SHALL MEAN SHALL OR DOES SHALL
MEAN MIGHT?
>> THERE'S ALSO DISCUSSION ABOUT
THE WORDS OF THE IMMIGRATION LAW
AND REALITY.
HERE'S CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN
ROBERTS.
>> ASSUMING WE THINK IT WOULD BE
IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE SURPRISING AND
VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE EXECUTIVE
TO COMPLY, ISN'T THAT A
CONSIDERATION WE SHOULD TAKE
INTO ACCOUNT IN TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT IF SHALL MEANS SHALL?
BECAUSE CERTAINLY THERE ARE
CASES WHERE WE SAID SHALL MEANS
MAY.
>> THE COURT HAS SAID THAT.
I THINK THE BROADER CONTEXT HERE
IS REALLY THAT THE DISCRETION
THAT FEDERAL AGENCIES HAVE IN
ORDER TO GO AFTER VIOLATIONS.
NOT JUST IMMIGRATION, BUT ANY
>> WEST HAS RECENTLY WELCOMED
MANY FAMILIES FROM AFGHANISTAN
AND UKRAINE, INCLUDING YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO ARE BEGINNING NEW AND
UNEXPECTED LIVES HERE.
PBS WISCONSIN SERVES ALL KIDS.

I'M MALCOLM BRETT IN THE STUDIOS
OF PBS WISCONSIN.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR
THIS WONDERFUL EPISODE OF CRAFT
IN AMERICA.
MAYBE WE SHOULD CALL THIS QUILTS
IN AMERICA.
THESE GUILT QUILTS ARE BEAUTIFUL.
I LOVE TO HEAR THEM TALK ABOUT
THE PASSION FOR THEIR WORK BUT
ALSO THEIR GENEROSITY AND
CAPACITY FOR GIVING QUILTS AWAY
AND BUILDING COMMUNITY.
IT'S PART OF THE CULTURE OF THE
QUILTER.
WE'RE SEEING QUILTERS OF
DIFFERENT CULTURES IN THIS
PROGRAM AS YOU'VE JUST SEEN AND
WILL SEE IN THE UPCOMING
SEGMENT.
ONE OF THE QUOTES I LOVE IS I'M
TELLING MY STORY AND MY MOTHER'S
STORY AND MY GRANDMOTHER'S
STORY.
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF WOMEN IN
THE QUILTING ARENA.
BUT THERE ARE MEN, TOO.
IT'S A BIG TENT.
THERE'S ROOM FOR EVERYONE.
QUILTS ARE SO EXPRESSIVE.
THEY UNITE US IN THEIR ABILITY
TO EXPRESS THE COMMON
EXPERIENCES AND OUR OWN
INDIVIDUAL STORIES.
REALLY THAT'S WHAT WISCONSIN
PUBLIC TELEVISION IS ALL ABOUT,
UNITING US AND TELLING OUR
COMMON STORIES AND OUR OWN
INDIVIDUAL STORIES.
AND PART OF THAT STORY IS YOUR
FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
WON'T YOU MAKE YOUR GIFT TO PBS
WISCONSIN RIGHT NOW?
>> THANK YOU.
HELLO.
I'M DIANE AGANS, A FORMER STAFF
PERSON HERE AT PBS WISCONSIN AND
CURRENT VOLUNTEER.
REALLY HAPPY TO BE HERE TONIGHT.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PROGRAM TO BE
A PART OF, CRAFT IN AMERICA,
THIS VERY SPECIAL EPISODE ON
QUILTS.
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE COMING OUR
WAY THIS EVENING, BUT THIS IS A
GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE CARE OF
SOME OF THAT BUSINESS THAT
MALCOM WAS TALKING ABOUT HERE
AND THAT IS SHOWING YOUR
- FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO PUBLIC
TELEVISION BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT
KEEPS PROGRAMS LIKE THIS COMING,
COMMERCIAL-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED.
THE QUALITY IS THERE BECAUSE OF
YOU.
SO PLEASE GO TO THE PHONES RIGHT
NOW.
WE'VE GOT OUR VOLUNTEERS IN THE
STUDIO.
WE HAVE SOME INCREDIBLE THANK
YOU GIFTS THAT I'D LIKE TO TELL
YOU ABOUT RIGHT NOW.
BECOME A SUSTAINER AT THE $10 A
MONTH LEVEL AND WE WOULD LOVE TO
SEND YOU THESE VERY SPECIAL GIFT
CARDS.
THESE ARE FROM QUILTS, A SERIES
OF CARDS REPRODUCED FROM QUILTS
MADE BY NANCY ZIEMAN.
SHE CREATED THESE FOUR
INCREDIBLE QUILTS THAT ARE EACH
OF THE FOUR SEASONS.

>> THANK YOU.
I'M MICHAEL BRIDGEMAN, A
VOLUNTEER HERE TONIGHT AS WELL
AND VERY PLEASED TO SEE THIS
PROGRAM.
IT'S REALLY INTERESTING HOW
THESE QUILT MAKERS MAKE THINGS
THEIR OWN.
I WAS THRILLED WITH THE IDEA OF
LEDGER DRAWINGS.
I'VE SEEN SOME.
I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH TURNING
THAT IDEA INTO CONTEMPORARY
QUILTS.
I WAS FASCINATED BY HOW THE
QUILT MAKER WAS TAKING THAT
TRADITION AND MAKING IT A NEW
TRADITION.
IT ENRICHES OUR UNDERSTANDING OF
THE WORLD AROUND US AND COULD
POSSIBLY INSPIRE US AS WELL.
I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE A QUILT,
BUT IT'S INSPIRATIONAL TO SEE
WHAT PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF
DOING.
IT'S THE POWER OF PBS WISCONSIN
TO DO EXACTLY THIS SORT OF
THING.
IT'S A GOOD REASON TO CALL AND
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT.
DIANE MENTIONED THE SUSTAINER
LEVEL OF MEMBERSHIP.
IT'S AN AMOUNT THAT YOU DECIDE
TO GIVE MONTH TO MONTH.
IT MAKES IT SIMPLE FOR YOU
BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK
EVERY MONTH WHAT DO I OWE, WHAT
DO I WANT TO GIVE.
IT MAKES IT AN AUTOMATIC THING.
BUT YOU ARE IN CONTROL.
YOU CAN JUST GET IN TOUCH WITH
US TO CHANGE IT AT ANY TIME.
BUT RIGHT NOW WHY DON'T YOU CALL
AND MAKE YOUR PLEDGE OF SUPPORT
AT 1-800-236-3636.
>> CRAFT IN AMERICA IS A
WONDERFUL PEABODY-AWARD WINNING
SERIES THAT'S BEEN WITH US AT

WITH YOU FOR 15 YEARS NOW.
IT'S WONDERFUL HOW YOUR
CONTRIBUTIONS CAN SUSTAIN A
WONDERFUL PROGRAM LIKE THIS THAT
SHOWS US HOW ARTISTS AND THOSE
PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NOT CONSIDER
THEMSELVES ARTISTS CAPTURE THEIR
EXPERIENCE AND STORIES AND
CREATE A LEGACY IN THE MEDIUM OF
QUILTING.
THAT'S WHAT PBS WISCONSIN DOES,
CREATES A LEGACY IN THE MEDIUM
OF MEDIA.
AND THINK ABOUT THE GIFT YOU
COULD GET WITH YOUR GIFT OF AT
LEAST $5 A MONTH.
THAT'S PASSPORT, WITH GREAT
ACCESS TO SO MANY PROGRAMS FROM
PBS WISCONSIN.
THINK OF THAT AS A QUILT OF ALL
THESE GREAT, INSPIRE,
STIMULATING PROGRAMS THAT PBS

OF THE THOUGHTFUL, THOUGHTFUL
QUILTS THAT KEN BURNS HAS
COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS.

SOMEONE'S HOME, WARMS SOMEONE'S
FAMILY.
IT BRIGHTENS THEIR LIVES.
WELL, PBS WISCONSIN DOES THE
SAME THING.
WE DON'T LEAVE BEHIND THAT

PROGRAMS THAT STIMULATE YOU,

>> HI.
WELCOME BACK TO PBS WISCONSIN.
TAKING A SHORT BREAK IN "CRAFT
IN AMERICA," THIS QUILT EPISODE,
TO ASK YOU TO SUPPORT PBS
WISCONSIN.
YOU KNOW, I COULD LISTEN TO KEN
BURNS ALL DAY LONG.
HIS MEDIUM IS SUPPOSED TO BE
TELEVISION, BUT HE'S SO ELOQUENT
AND THE WAY HE DESCRIBES THINGS
AND CAPTURES IDEAS IS JUST
EXTRAORDINARY.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT THESE QUILTS
ARE DOING.
THEY'RE CAPTURING IDEAS IN AN
EXTRAORDINARY WAY TO MAKE THEM
ACCESSIBLE TO YOU.
THAT'S WHAT PBS WISCONSIN DOES.
THIS IS A CHALLENGE BREAK.
WE KNOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
YOUR SUPPORT MAKES PBS WISCONSIN
POSSIBLE.
DURING THIS BREAK, YOUR GIFT
WILL BE DOUBLED BECAUSE CURRENT
MEMBERS KNOW THAT THEY CAN
ENCOURAGE MORE PEOPLE TO MAKE A
PLEDGE BY MATCHING THEIR GIFT
DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR.
SO THE FIRST $2,000 PLEDGED WILL
BE MATCHED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR 20 PLEDGES
DURING THIS BREAK.
WE'RE ASKING YOU TO BE THE FIRST
PERSON TO PLEDGE DURING THIS
BREAK AND GET THIS CHALLENGE
BREAK OFF TO A GREAT START.
YOU'RE HEARING WONDERFUL STORIES
AND LEARNING SO MUCH ABOUT THE
GENEROSITY OF QUILTERS.
WE KNOW ABOUT THE GENEROSITY OF
OUR VIEWERS AND WE HOPE YOU'LL
DEMONSTRATE IT BY MAKING YOUR
CALL DURING THIS CHALLENGE
BREAK.
THANK YOU.
>> OH, DO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS
BRIEF BREAK THAT WE'RE HAVING IN
THE PROGRAM.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CHALLENGE
BREAK THAT MALCOM WAS TELLING
YOU ABOUT AND GIVE US A CALL
HERE AT PBS WISCONSIN.
HELLO.
I'M DIANE AGANS, REALLY HAPPY TO
BE HERE WITH YOU THIS EVENING AT
THIS VERY SPECIAL TIME.
WE HAVE SOME INCREDIBLE THANK
YOU GIFTS WHEN YOU CALL AND MAKE
THAT GIFT OF SUPPORT RIGHT NOW.
THE FIRST GIFT LEVEL THAT WE
HAVE HERE, IF YOU BECOME A
SUSTAINER AT THE $10 A MONTH
LEVEL, THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL
SET OF GIFT CARDS WE HAVE
PRODUCED.
THESE ARE FROM QUILTS NANCY
ZIEMAN PRODUCED OVER THE YEARS.
AT THE $15 A MONTH LEVEL, WE
WILL SEND YOU THE COLLECTION,
THIS IS A BOOK THAT SHOWS THE
KEN BURNS QUILT COLLECTION THAT
YOU WERE JUST HEARING DESCRIBED

AMOUNTS ON YOUR SCREEN LIKE $10
A MONTH AND SO ON, THAT MEANS
THAT IT'S A SUSTAINING GIFT.
WE ENCOURAGE SUSTAINING GIFTS
FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.
IF YOU'RE A GIVER LIKE I AM ON A
SUSTAINING PROGRAM, I DETERMINE
HOW MUCH I WANT TO GIVE, IF I
WANT TO CHANGE IT UP OR DOWN.
PROBABLY NOT.
BUT UP.
I CONTACT PBS WISCONSIN AND WE
CHANGE IT AND IT COMES DIRECTLY
OUT OF MY CHECKING ACCOUNT EVERY
MONTH.
IT'S MUCH EASIER TO BUDGET THAT
WAY FROM MY POINT OF VIEW.
I'D HAVE TO COME UP WITH A GIFT
AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
IT'S HAPPENING EVERY MONTH.
IT'S ALSO GOOD FOR PBS WISCONSIN
BECAUSE IT'S DEPENDABLE,
RELIABLE STREAM OF INCOME.
THERE'S A LOT LESS PAPERWORK
INVOLVED AND A LOT LESS HASSLE
AND SO.
THE BEST THING THAT COMES OUT OF
ALL OF THIS IS THE GREAT
PROGRAMS WE ALL ENJOY THROUGHOUT
THE WORLD ON PBS WISCONSIN.
IT MIGHT BE THE QUILT SHOW THAT
YOU'RE WATCHING TONIGHT.
IT MIGHT BE THE "NEWSHOUR" THAT
WE SAW EARLIER OR ANY OF THE
OTHER WONDERFUL PROGRAMS FOR
GROWNUPS AND CHILDREN AND
EVERYBODY IN BETWEEN THAT WE SEE
ON PBS WISCONSIN.
ALL ARE GOOD REASONS TO BECOME A
SUSTAINING MEMBER.
DON'T WORRY.
OUR VOLUNTEERS CAN HELP YOU WITH
IT AND HELP YOU SET IT UP.
SO PLEASE GIVE ONE OF THEM A
CALL AS SOON AS YOU CAN AT
1-800-236-3636.
>> IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK ABOUT
QUILTS AND THE ART OF QUILTING
WITHOUT REMEMBERING OUR GOOD
FRIEND NANCY ZIEMAN WHO PASSED
AWAY NOW FIVE YEARS AGO.
WE STILL FEEL HER LOSS.
NANCY WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY
PERSON AND SO EMBLEMATIC OF WHAT
THE QUILTER'S ETHIC IS, RENOWNED
FOR HER TREMENDOUS SHOW, SEWING
WITH NANCY, RENOWNED FOR HELPING
START THE QUILT EXPO RIGHT HERE
AT PBS WISCONSIN AND FOR THE
QUILT TO GIVE PROJECT THAT SHE
CREATED.
AND OF COURSE THE LEGACY OF HER
ART AND GENERATIONS OF SEWERINGS
AND QUILTERS WHO WARMED TO HER
PERSONALITY AND IMAGINATION AND
INSPIRATION AND BECAME QUILTERS
UNDER THE TUTELAGE OF HER
GENEROUS HAND.
WE AT PBS WISCONSIN HAVE BEEN SO
FORTUNATE TO HAVE BEEN THE
PRODUCER OF SEWING WITH NANCY
FOR SO LONG.
WE MISS HER NOW BUT WE HONOR HER
LEGACY AND WE HOPE YOU WILL TOO
BY CONTINUING THE GREAT
ATTENTION TO PROGRAMS LIKE
"CRAFT IN AMERICA" AND IN
PARTICULAR THIS QUILT SHOW BY
MAKING YOUR GIFT AND MAKING IT

PLEASE CALL RIGHT NOW.

MAKE THAT GIFT RIGHT NOW, YOUR
GIFT IS GOING TO BE MATCHED.
WANT TO ALSO THANK THE VIEWERS
WHO HAVE ALREADY CALLED IN,

>> THEY SAY THAT THE FIRST
STORYTELLERS WERE SITTING AROUND
A FIRE TELLING STORIES VERBALLY.
MAYBE THE SECOND ONES WERE
PAINTERS.
EVENTUALLY QUILTERS WERE TELLING
STORIES.
PBS WISCONSIN STARTED AS
WISCONSIN PUBLIC RADIO OVER 100
YEARS AGO AND THEN BECAME PBS
WISCONSIN AND NOW YOU'RE SITTING
IN FRONT OF YOUR COMPUTER, NOT
SITTING AROUND A FIRE, OR YOUR
COMPUTER OR STREAMING DEVICE AND

>> THIS IS SUCH A SPECIAL
PROGRAM THAT WE'RE VIEWING HERE,
"CRAFT IN AMERICA," THE QUILTS
PROGRAM.
QUILTS CARRY OUR STORIES, YOU
KNOW.
THAT'S WHAT PUBLIC TELEVISION
DOES.
IT CARRIES OUR STORIES.
AND AS KEN BURNS JUST SAID A FEW
MINUTES AGO, TEXTILES ARE THE
DNA OF OUR CULTURE.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY THE ORGANIC
PART OF IT THAT COMES FORWARD

CONTINUE WITH SUPPORT SUCH AS

>> HI.
WE'RE BACK IN THE PBS WISCONSIN
STUDIOS FOLLOWING THIS
TREMENDOUS INSPIRING AND
HEARTWARMING PROGRAM.
YOU MAY BE A GREAT ARTIST.
YOU MAY BE A MINOR ARTIST.
YOU MAY APPRECIATE GREAT ART.
YOU MAY BE A CRAFTER.
YOU MAY JUST BE A NEIGHBOR AND
SOMEONE WHO APPRECIATES WHAT
YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS DO.
THERE'S SUCH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT
OF ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM AND
INSPIRATION IN THE PEOPLE WHO DO
THIS WORK.
I THINK THIS SHOW DID A
BEAUTIFUL JOB OF CAPTURING IT
AND INTRODUCING TO REALLY EXPERT
QUILTERS AND NEOPHYTES LIKE ME
THE ART AND THE CULTURE AND THE
VALUES OF THE QUILTING WORLD.
IT'S A TREE MEN TREMENDOUS WAY FOLKS TELL
THEIR STORY, WHETHER IT'S THE
DEFINED PRACTICES OF A HIGH-END
QUILTER TO THE WILD IMAGINATION
OF A CRAZY QUILTER.
IT TAKES ALL KINDS AND THAT'S
WHAT PBS WISCONSIN IS ALL ABOUT,
SHOWING YOU THE STORIES OF THE
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY, IN THIS
WORLD THAT INSPIRE US, THAT
TOUCH US, THAT REMIND US OF
SOMETHING WE ARE, WE'D LIKE TO
BE OR WE NEVER THOUGHT OF.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE.
THAT'S WHY SHOWS LIKE THIS ARE
SO IMPORTANT.
THAT'S WHY YOUR CONTRIBUTION IS
TO IMPORTANT TO PBS WISCONSIN
AND TO YOU AND YOUR FRIEND AND
YOUR NEIGHBORS.
MAKE A GIFT RIGHT NOW, WON'T
YOU?
>> THANK YOU.
IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU THAT PUBLIC
TELEVISION CAN TAKE THE TIME TO
PRESENT STORIES LIKE THIS AND IN
THE WAY THAT IT PRESENTS IT.
THE QUALITY IS THERE.
THE COMMERCIAL UNINTERRUPTED
FREE.
BUT YOU TAKE AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT
A SUBJECT LIKE QUILTING AND BE
ABLE TO SO BEAUTIFULLY PORTRAY
IT, WE'RE ONLY ABLE TO DO THAT
BECAUSE OF MEMBER SUPPORT.
SO NOW IS THE TIME TO ASK AWAY.
GO AHEAD AND BECOME A MEMBER OR
RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP SUPPORT TO
PBS WISCONSIN SO THAT WE CAN
MAKE SURE THOSE PROGRAMS KEEP ON
COMECOMING YOUR WAY.
AGAIN, WE HAVE WONDERFUL,
WONDERFUL THANK YOU GIFTS FROM
THE SHOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN
WATCHING HERE THIS EVENING,
"CRAFT IN AMERICA."
LET ME JUST REMIND YOU OF WHAT
THOSE ARE RIGHT NOW OR IF YOU'RE
JUST TUNING IN, YOU CAN BECOME A
SUSTAINER FOR $10 A MONTH AND WE
WILL SEND YOU THESE NANCY ZIEMAN
GIFT CARDS.
NANCY ZIEMAN WAS A WONDERFUL
QUILTER THAT WE HAD A CLOSE
ASSOCIATION WITH.
WE PRODUCED A NUMBER OF HER
WONDERFUL SEASONAL QUILTS INTO
GIFT CORDS, SO CARDS, SO THIS CAN BE YOURS
FOR $10 A MONTH.
IF YOU WERE MOVED BY KEN BURNS'
QUILT COLLECTION, BECOME A
MEMBER AT THE $15 A MONTH LEVEL,
WE WILL SEND YOU THIS WONDERFUL
BOOK THAT SHOWS ALL OF THE
COMPLETE KEN BURNS QUILT
COLLECTION.

MONTH, WE WILL SEND YOU BOTH THE
GIFT CARDS AS WELL AS THE BOOKS
OF THE KEN BURNS QUILT
COLLECTION AS OUR WAY OF SAYING
THANK YOU FOR STEPPING FORWARD
AND MAKE SURE THAT PBS WISCONSIN
CONTINUES WELL INTO THE FUTURE.
YOUR GIFT REALLY MAKES A
DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU CALL
1-800-236-3636.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS I
ESPECIALLY LIKE ABOUT PROGRAMS
LIKE THIS IS THE ABILITY TO
OBSERVE THE CREATIVE PROCESS IN
A CLOSE-UP KIND OF WAY THAT I'D
NEVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO
OTHERWISE.
BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS INTERESTED IN
HOW PEOPLE WITH THAT KIND OF
GIFT COME ABOUT TO THEIR IDEAS
AND MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
I KNOW IT'S ALSO A LOT OF HARD
WORK, BUT IT'S FASCINATING TO
WATCH IT.
AND THAT'S THE KIND OF PROGRAM
THAT THIS HAS BEEN AND THE KIND
OF PROGRAM THAT WE BRING YOU ALL
THE TIME AS WE CELEBRATE THE
ARTS ROUTINELY ON PBS WISCONSIN.
WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE
WHO IS A MEMBER.
THERE ARE 70,000 HOUSEHOLDS WHO
ARE SUPPORTERS OF PBS WISCONSIN.
IF YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THEM, THIS
IS YOUR BIG CHANCE.
YOU CAN MAKE A CALL NOW.
MAKE A ONE-TIME GIFT OR A
SUSTAINING GIFT TO PBS
WISCONSIN.
OUR OPERATORS HAVE ALL THE
INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT THAT
MEANS, HOW YOU CAN SET IT UP AND
JUST HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO PBS
WISCONSIN.
SO CALL NOW, PLEASE,
1-800-236-3636.
>> THIS BOOK OF KEN BURNS QUILTS
IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT JUSTICE
BECAUSE I DIDN'T TELL THE CAMERA
OPERATOR I WAS GOING TO DO THIS,
BUT THERE ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL
PROGRAMS AND WONDERFUL QUILTS IN
HERE.
IS THERE ANYTHING MORE AMERICAN
THAN THIS PHOTOGRAPH, THIS
ANTIQUE CHAIR AND THIS BEAUTIFUL
QUILT?
THIS BOOK CAPTURES WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE AN AMERICAN, WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE A NEIGHBOR, WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE AN ARTIST, WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE SOMEONE WHO APPRECIATES
ART.
KEN BURNS WILL BE THE FIRST TO
TELL YOU HE'S NOT A QUILTER, BUT
HE HAS A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR
AN ART FORM THAT IS SO POPULACE,
SO DEMOCRATIC, SO INVITING OF
ANYONE TO PARTICIPATE AND YIELDS
SUCH BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL ART,
FROM FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS AND
ORDINARY PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME.
NOT ME.
I COULD NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE
THIS.
BUT THE MORE WE LEARN ABOUT
QUILTERS, THE MORE WE KNOW THERE
ARE MOTHERS, GRANDMOTHERS,
BROTHERS, NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS.
THEY'RE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY
WHO HAVE BECOME ENAMORED OF AN
ART FORM THAT EXPRESSES WHO THEY
ARE, TELLS THEIR STORIES AND
YIELDS THIS WONDERFUL PRODUCT
THAT CAN KEEP US WARM, THAT CAN
BRIGHTEN OUR HOMES OR THAT CAN
BE A GIFT TO SOMEONE ELSE.
TRULY AN EXTRAORDINARY
EXPRESSION OF SO MANY OF THE
VALUES WE ALL HOLD DEARLY.
IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AND PBS
WISCONSIN: ITS ABILITY TO BRING
YOU PROGRAMS AND PEOPLE AND
IDEAS THAT CONVEY THEM WITH SUCH
AUTHENTICITY AND WARMTH.
PLEASE CALL RIGHT NOW,
1-800-236-3636, AND MAKE YOUR
PLEDGE OF SUPPORT.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
>> YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT THESE THANK YOU GIFTS THAT
WE THANK YOU WITH WHEN YOU CALL
AND MAKE YOUR GIFT OF SUPPORT.
YOU MAY ALSO FEEL FREE TO GIFT
THOSE ON TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
JUST LET THE VOLUNTEER KNOW THE
SHIPPING ADDRESS OF WHERE YOU
WOULD LIKE THE GIFT SENT AND
WE'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT FOR
YOU.
TO REMIND YOU WHAT THE GIFTS
ARE, IF YOU ARE A SUSTAINER AT
THE $10 A MONTH LEVEL, WE'LL
SEND YOU THIS BEAUTIFUL NANCY
ZIEMAN GREETING CARD SET.
IT COMES BEAUTIFULLY WRAPPED,
SO.
WITH A GIFT OF $15 WE HAVE THE
KEN BURNS QUILT COLLECTION.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK.
I'LL SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES IN A
QUICK SECOND HERE, TOO.
AT THE $20 A MONTH LEVEL WE WILL
SEND YOU BOTH THE CARD AND THE
BOOK.
AGAIN, OR YOU MAY GIFT THAT ON
TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
YOU CAN JUST LET OUR FOLKS KNOW
THAT, TOO.
BUT MALCOM HAD SUCH A GOOD IDEA
ABOUT HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF THE
PHOTOS THAT ARE IN THIS BOOK
HERE.
AGAIN, WHAT I AM SHOWING YOU A
PICTURE OF -- THERE I AM, OKAY,
IS FROM THE BOOK CALLED
UNCOVERED, THE KEN BURNS
COLLECTION.
WE SAW A NUMBER OF HIS QUILTS IN
THE PROGRAM HERE TODAY, TOO.
AS KEN BURNS SAID, YOU KNOW,
TEXTILES ARE THE DNA OF OUR
CULTURE.
AND SO HIS COLLECTION OF THE
ONES THAT HE HAS PULLED TOGETHER
IS JUST AMAZING.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOME WORK
BY AN ARTIST DONE IN ALABAMA.
WHO KNOWS WHEN THIS WAS DONE.
IT IS NOT KNOWN.
BUT KEN BURNS COLLECTED THESE
QUILTS BECAUSE THEY SPOKE TO
HIM, THEY SAID SOMETHING TO HIM,
AND SO HE'S PRESENTED THAT TO US
IN ONLY THE WAY THAT KEN BURNS
CAN PUT THINGS TOGETHER AND TELL
A STORY.
BUT AGAIN THAT'S OUR WAY OF
SAYING THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING
PBS WISCONSIN BECAUSE YOU ARE
THE REASON THAT WE'RE HERE TODAY
AND WE DO WHAT WE DO.
1-800-236-3636.
>> THE KIND OF SUSTAINING GIVING
THAT DIANE WAS JUST TALKING
ABOUT IS BECOMING AN
INCREASINGLY POPULAR WAY FOR
PEOPLE TO SUPPORT PBS WISCONSIN.
AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, TOO.
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF BENEFITS TO
YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE IN CONTROL
WHEN YOU MAKE A SUSTAINING GIFT
AND THERE ARE BENEFITS TO ACCRUE
TO PBS WISCONSIN BECAUSE IT'S A
LESS COSTLY WAY TO DEAL WITH THE
WHOLE ISSUE OF MEMBERSHIP AND
SUPPORT.
SO TOO PLEASE THINK ABOUT
BECOMING A MEMBER AT A
SUSTAINING LEVEL.
ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU PLEDGE $10 A
MONTH, THAT'S $120 A YEAR, WE
HAVE THESE BEAUTIFUL CARDS THAT
WERE DONE FROM IMAGES, QUILT
IMAGES CREATED BY NANCY ZIEMAN.
THIS IS MOON LIT BIRCHES, A
WINTER SCENE.
THIS IS FRONT PORCH, A SUMMER
SCENE.
THERE ARE TWO OTHERS FOR THE
OTHER SEASONS OF THE YEAR.
THAT'S IF YOU PLEDGE AT THE $10
A MONTH SUSTAINING LEVEL.
THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO GIVE,
TOO.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT A
QUALIFIED CHARITABLE
DISTRIBUTION IS, THAT'S ANOTHER
WAY TO GIVE.
YOU CAN DO A DISTRIBUTION FROM
YOUR IRA THAT WAY.
THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF WAYS TO
GIVE.
BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO
GIVE AND SUPPORT THIS THING YOU
BELIEVE IN BY CALLING NOW
1-800-236-3636.
>> YOU MAY BE ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE WHO ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO
HAVE A LEGACY QUILT, SOMETHING
PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO
GENERATION IN YOUR FAMILY.
IT'S ONE OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS
ABOUT QUILTS.
THEY PASS DOWN THE STORIES, THE
HISTORY AND THE PRODUCT THAT
PEOPLE MADE IN THEIR FAMILIES
FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.
WELL, THERE'S ANOTHER KIND OF
LEGACY I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT.
THAT'S THE LEGACY OF BEING IN
THE PBS WISCONSIN HERITAGE
SOCIETY.
MY WIFE AND ARE I IN THE
HERITAGE SOCIETY.
WE MADE PBS WISCONSIN PART OF
OUR WILL.
IT'S IN OUR ESTATE PLAN.
WHEN WE MOVE ON, THERE WILL BE A
GIFT TO PBS WISCONSIN THAT WILL
SUSTAIN PBS FOR THE NEXT
GENERATION AND THE GENERATION
AFTER.
WE DON'T HAVE QUILTS TO PASS ON
BUT IN A SENSE WE'RE PASSING PBS
WISCONSIN ON TO THE NEXT
GENERATION THROUGH OUR ESTATE
PLANS.
CONSIDER JOINING THE HERITAGE
SOCIETY AND NEXT TIME YOU LOOK
AT YOUR ESTATE PLANS -- AND
NEVER TOO SOON TO DO THAT --
CONSIDER INCLUDING PBS WISCONSIN
TO SUSTAIN A SERVICE THAT YOUR
FAMILY HAS ENJOYED FOR
GENERATIONS FOR THE GENERATIONS
TO COME.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, MALCOM.
IT'S BEEN AN HONOR BEING A PART
OF THIS WONDERFUL EVENING HERE,
"CRAFT IN AMERICA."
WE'VE SEEN SOME INCREDIBLE
QUILTS AND THE CRAFT AND THE
STORIES BEHIND THEM.
IT CERTAINLY IS SOMETHING THAT
IS JUST MEANINGFUL AND PASSED
DOWN FROM GENERATION TO
GENERATION.
KEN BURNS HAD TALKED ABOUT HOW
HIS GRANDMOTHER'S QUILT THAT HE
WAS GIVEN AS A YOUNG MAN SO
ENSPIERD HIM BECAUSE IT CARRIED
ALL THE FAMILIES OF EVERYONE IN
HIS FAMILY.
IT'S THAT LEGACY THAT IS
HAPPENING OVER AND OVER.
AGAIN, PBS WISCONSIN AND PUBLIC
TELEVISION CAN TAKE IN-DEPTH
LOOK AT STORIES LIKE THIS AND
TREAT THEM IN THE WAY THAT THEY
DESERVE TO BE TREATED.
YOU MAKE THAT ALL POSSIBLE WITH
THAT GIFT OF SUPPORT.
WHEN YOU MAKE A GIFT OF $10 A
MONTH, WE'LL SEND YOU THE NANCY
ZIEMAN GIFT CARDS THAT YOU CAN
GIFT TO YOURSELF OR SOMEBODY
ELSE.
$15 A MORKS MONTH, THE KEN BURNS
COLLECTION OR $20 A MONTH THE
GIFT CARDS AND THE BOOK WHEN YOU
GIVE US A CALL AT
1-800-236-3636.
>> "AIRWAVES" IS MORE THAN JUST
A MEMBER GUIDE, JUST A LIST OF
PROGRAMS THAT ARE ON FOR THE
COMING MONTH, THOUGH THAT'S A
VERY IMPORTANT PART OF IT.
THERE'S ALSO INFORMATION ABOUT
SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE
SHOWS, SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES WE
DO IN THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY
IN THE AREA OF EDUCATION.
SO THERE'S A LOT TO BE GOTTEN
FROM "AIRWAVES" WHEN YOU GET IT.
WHEN YOU BECOME A SUPPORTER OF
PBS WISCONSIN.
ANOTHER ONE OF THE MANY
BENEFITS.
WE ALWAYS SAY, THOUGH, IT'S
REALLY THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU SEE
THAT YOU ENJOY THAT YOU COME TO
DEPEND ON.
THAT'S WHAT REALLY MATTERS WHEN
YOU CALL 1-800-236-3636.
