LINNENTOWN QUILT PROJECT Sunday, April 10, 1 – 3 p.m.
Linnentown was a neighborhood on Baxter Street in Athens made up of 50 Black fam- ilies until one day in 1962 when their lives changed forever. With the support of the city, UGA won a federal contract to demolish and displace the community to build residence halls for students. After hearing Hattie Thom- as Whitehead’s experience being pushed out of her family home, three graduate students in the art education program at UGA decid- ed to create a quilt to honor the memories of Linnentown. Through several workshops involving the community, participants heard stories from first descendants and created quilt squares to recognize their experiences. At this program, the final quilt will be on display for viewing and visitors can take a guided tour in the galleries.
