>> HELLO, I'M DEANNA SPRINGER,

QUILT SHOW WITH INSIGHT INTO THE

ROBINSON IN YOUR SPECIAL QUILT
EXHIBIT.
WHAT AN AMAZING EXHIBIT!
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.
>> YES, YOU ARE SO WELCOME.
>> THANK YOU.
TELL US, KAYLA, ABOUT THE
EXHIBIT.
HOW THIS ALL GOT STARTED.
>> SO EARLY 2022, AROUND THE
TIME WHEN EVERYTHING WAS
HAPPENING AND -- IN THE SOUTH,
HISTORY WAS QUESTIONED, CRITICAL
RACE THEORY AND ALL THAT.
I WAS UPSET.
I PAUSED AND REALIZED I LEARNED
HISTORY AT HOME.
I WAS INSPIRED TO TELL A FILM,
QUILTED EDUCATION.
IT IS ABOUT MY MOTHER, MY BLACK
HISTORY HERO AND MADE SURE
STUDENTS ACROSS THE CITY OF SAN
ANTONIO AND BEYOND, THAT THEY
ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
LEARN ABOUT THE AMAZING HISTORY
THAT AFRICAN-AMERICANS HAVE.
>> YOUR FILM HAS HAD NATIONAL
REACH.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THAT IS HOW WE FOUND YOU.
OUR FRIENDS AT PBS WISCONSIN SAW
THE FILM AND WE WERE LIKE WE
HAVE TO GET IN TCH WITH YOU SO
GLAD YOU ARE HERE.
KAREN, TELL US ABOUT THE QUILTS.
>> THESE QUILTS I MADE, SOME
OVER 20 YEARS AGO.
LIKE KAYLA SAID THIS STARTED
BECAUSE OF MY PASSION ABOUT
HISTORY AND TEACHING HISTORY.
AND CHILDREN ENJOY HISTORY
STORY.
THAT IS HOW THEY REMEMBER IT.
SO ALL THESE QUILTS WERE DONE,
INSPIRED BY HISTORY OF SOME
SORT.
WHETHER IT IS MY FAMILY HISTORY,
BLACK HISTORY, MILITARY HISTORY,
BECAUSE I ALSO SERVED IN THE AIR
FORCE.
I JUST LIKE TO TELL STORIES WITH
QUILTS.
THAT IS HOW IT CAME ABOUT.
>> BEAUTIFUL QUILT, THANK YOU
FOR YOUR SERVICE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> YOU ARE RIGHT.
EVERY QUILT DOES TELL A STORY.
>> THANK YOU.
>> YOU CAN SPEND 10, 15 MINUTES,
LOOKING AT EACH QUILT AND LEARN
THE STORY.
THOSE CAN BE PASSED ALONG.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
THAT WAS THE IDEA.
I ALSO HAVE FLASH CARDS.
MY MOTHER WAS A TEACHER, SO THE
TEACHER IN HER PASSED THROUGH TO
ME SO WE HAVE FLASH CARDS ALSO
SO PEOPLE CAN READ THE THINGS
THEY DON'T KNOW.
>> THANK YOU FOR WRITING THAT.
YOU ARE HERE AT YOUR EXHIBIT.
EXHIBITORS COME THIS WEEK AND
THEY CAN VISIT WITH YOU.
>> YES.

LOVE TO HAVE EVERYONE.
