Thursday, February 12th at 7:00pm
Downers Grove Public Library
1050 Curtiss Street Downers Grove
In partnership with the Downers Grove League of Women Voters, we are pleased to present Connie Martin as she tells the stories passed down to her great-grandmother Lizzie of how her family survived the antebellum period through trials and tribulations, and how they used quilts that contained hidden codes and secret messages to assist abolitionists-white and black- to guide enslaved people to freedom through the Underground Railroad to Canada.
Light refreshments will be served.
Branch Business Meeting to follow.
