In "Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt," Clara, a seamstress on a plantation, dreams of reuniting with her mother and escaping to freedom. After overhearing a conversation about the Underground Railroad, she finds inspiration to create a "freedom quilt" using scraps from her work. This quilt serves as a map to freedom, designed to go unnoticed by her captors. Through hands-on activities, students will explore the mathematical patterns and transformations involved in quilt-making, providing a unique intersection of art and history.
