This whole-cloth painted quilt is about two very strong women, who died within days of each other. They were both advocates for human rights.

Madeleine was a foreign policy genius, our UN ambassador under President Clinton, and then the first US woman Secretary of State. Guenveur was an artist, political activist, and worked to help many troubled people through her social work in Kent, Ohio. The agency she worked for, Townhall II, was formed to help people cope with the trauma of the murders of students at Kent State in 1970, and that’s when Guenveur went to work there.
