Kyra, You make me want to be able to quit my job and travel all over to see everything you find! Thanks for creating a window to the world of African American Creativity for those of us who are stuck at our desks way to much.( But I have to add Praise God for the job!) :o)
Thanks so much, Kyra, for posting this. I live in West virginia, approximately 50 miles from Morehead, KY. I was not aware this exhibit was going to be shown in our region. Now, thanks to you, I have plans to be sure and see it. With Willa, I say, thank you for "creating a window to the world of African American Creativity."
Willa, Dee
So glad you find Black Threads to be useful! If you get to the exhibit, will you let us know how it is!?
Thanks! Kyra
