The Library welcomes The African American Quilt Guild of Gaston County to the stage to tell the stories of The Underground Railroad and beyond through the stories, songs, and quilts of our past, followed by a hands-on art opportunity made possible in partnership with Keep Gastonia Beautiful.
Geared towards school age students and up.
