The way I just cried watching the Gees Bend video. To hear and see the artists...🥹. My husband bought me a quilt from there after I regaled him with stories of Amy Sherald’s inspirations in painting First Lady Obama. I cried then, too. It was a sacrificial gift. I go against my own instinct by using the quilt when I’m cold, rehearsing that it’s made to be enjoyed. But I know I’m blanketed in art and sacredness.

Indeed you are.
