And Still We Rise: Race, Culture, and Visual Conversations

Experience history like never before with And Still We Rise: Race, Culture, and Visual Conversations—where every stitch tells a story and every quilt carries a legacy. This powerful and visually stunning book brings together 97 original quilts by 69 contemporary artists, tracing over 400 years of African American history in a way that is both deeply moving and beautifully creative. From the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in 1619 to the triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement and beyond, each quilt transforms pivotal moments into works of art that speak across generations.

Celebrate icons and milestones woven into fabric—from Muhammad Ali to Maya Angelou and her iconic I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. These quilts honor not just events, but the culture, resilience, and creativity that continue to shape the American story. With artists sharing the meaning and history behind each piece, this book becomes more than a collection—it’s a conversation, a tribute, and a celebration of voices that rise, again and again.

Bold. Moving. Unforgettable. This is history you don’t just read—you feel.
