Narrative quilt featuring a stylized central image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr appliquéd over various of his quotes handwritten on white fabric. The King figure appears to be wearing an actual blue plaid blazer, which has been sewn to the piece; the quilt is further embellished with a small American flag, a metal sign that reads “Colored Served in Rear” and a world map showing routes for ships involved in the transatlantic slave trade. Names of others involved in the Civil Rights movement are stitched on red along the left side and at the bottom. The quilt has a wide outside border of black and white decorative hand fabric and solid red binding.
