The cover, by nationally renowned master quiltist & artist, Faith Ringgold, will depict mealtime dialogue between Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, founder of NCNW, & her protege & NCNW president, Dr. Dorothy I. Height, where, over pound cake & tea, the famous Bethune Legacy was passed on to the African-American people. The interior art shows the role of quilting in the women's movement through the Black experience. THE BLACK FAMILY DINNER QUILT contains "Food Memories" (tm) shared by leaders & friends of Dr. Height who has been described as a "living link" to the American Civil Rights Movement. Convinced that more problems have been solved at the dinner table than at the conference table, these sidebar stories illustrate how Dr. Height has dedicated her life to building community among all people.
