Heritage and history are the focus of a
Bicentennial Commemorative Quilt high
lighting Afro-Americans at the Oregon
Historical Society. 1230 S.W. Park Ave
nue. The quilt may be seen by the public
beginning July 1st at which time a brief
ceremoney will open the exhibit at 3:30
p.m. and the exhibit will continue there
after through September 30, 197^. A
public reception will be held Saturday,
July 10th at the Oregon Historical So
ciety from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., in which
all are invited to join this special Bicen
tennial tribute and view the quilt and
historic exhibit which includes Frederick
Douglas memorabilia, also family items
from the Bogle Family, the oldest Black
family in Oregon (based on available re
cords).
At the reception, persons who have
lived in Oregon for fifty years or more are
invited to register for a special introduc
tion.
The Afro - American Heritage Bicen
tennial Commemorative Quilt Committee
is an ad hoc committee which has been
operating the past two years with the
specific purpose of designing and deve
loping an Afro-American Heritage Quilt
for a Bicentennial Exhibit. Following the
exhibit, committee members will vote as
to which institution they will donate the
quilt. They will also then decide as to
whether to disband the committee or to
formally establish a club or other group.
Two unique features distinguish the
Afro-American Heritage Quilt from the
usual quilts: 1. the red, white and blue
striping suggested by Mrs. Rebecca Mil
ler (who also made five quilt blocks) and
2. the chronological presentation coordi
nated by Mrs. Osly J. Gates who empha
sizes that this quilt is not a carbon copy of
any other quilt but a unique design which
is to be copyrighted.
Mrs. Gates had in earlier years served
as volunteer chairman of several heritage
exhibits at Central Public Library, U.S.
National Bank (Main Branch), The Bank
of California. Portland Art Museum, and
Meier and Frank Downtown. She reports
that in early 1974, she learned that the
Portland Art Museum had chosen “Mast
erworks in Wood" for its Bicentennial
theme and that such a theme did not
seem to her to provide much opportunity
for Afro-Americans whose masterworks
were in other art mediums: she knew
something else would have to be done.
Later, she viewed the Oregon Quilt and
observed that it included aspects of Cau-
casion Indian and Japanese heritage but
not Black heritage, although Tom York
preceded many of the persons in the
Oregon Quilt. So an effort evolved to
change the "left-out" status and make a
quilt containing Tom York and other Afro
-Americans.
The Commemorative Quilt Committee
members were born in 11 different
states: Oregon, Texas, Oklahoma, Loui
siana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and Min
nesota. Only one native Oregonian is on
the committee.
