Description

by Jamel K. Thomas-Joyce (Illustrator), Serena M. Strother Wilson (Foreword by), Johnston a. K. Njoku (Foreword by) If you were left with questions after reading "Hidden in Plain View" by Tobin & Dobard, this book has the answers. The 1st book done by Dr. Ozella William's family. It's a presentation of 5 generation's collective research. In the "Keeper of the Fire", they share age-old fabrics of internationally gathered photos of the quilt patterns on homes, art & people. Her European family is documented from 149 AD. This starts the documentation of Farrow-McDaniel's African history sources. They tell their own story. Few Americans read multi-lingual sources preserved centuries by international slavers. They piece a sampler quilt for you. Using common sense as binding, primary sources the stitching, gathering African metallurgy & symbols Mrs. Kemp exposes distortions/omissions. THE RESEARCH CONTINUES: Here is what they know. In 1844, Thomas Dover, willed Dover Hall Plantation estate to nephew, William D. Jenkins. Peter & Eliza Farrow, are listed among the subjugated workers. Serena mother's, (Mary Eva) great-grandparents survived slavery & had a son in 1850's. Named Peter Farrow Jr. after his father, he continued in service to his extended family & community. He shared Igbo culture with his children (Tom, Frank Nora & Jency), and his great grandchildren. Peter died in 1946 in SC.

In Europe Ozella, would point out stolen African or purchased artifacts. Ms. Kemp also visited with Ozella in Los Angeles, CA for 2 weeks in 1975. The Quilt Code was not created in 1990's, Ozella (Mary Eva's sister) copyrighted the "Quilt Codes" in 1950, 6 years after her grandfather died. The late Mrs. Wilson & Mrs. T. Kemp re-applied & received the US Copyrights. 2" KNOTS: Mnemonic devices used in quilts. Knots in quilts are similar to Catholic rosary, used as points of Godly contact. For centuries history was memory, songs, paintings, monoliths or in tapestries. Each method of recording are accepted worldwide as communication. In communicating with God for Igbo groups, everything can be used, as a way of making tangible the belief of protection over them. ONE FAMILY'S HISTORY: The Torah, Koran & Bible are stories of Abraham's family. Israel's presence in W.
