Freedom Is Near – Gee’s Bend Legacy Postcard

Celebrate the spirit of resistance and creativity with this powerful postcard featuring descendants of Dinah Miller, the first recorded quilter of Gee’s Bend. Set against a backdrop of Civil Rights history and quilted heritage, the image captures four young men outside a co-op beneath a sign that reads “Freedom is Near.”  

The reverse side shares the story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1965 visit to Gee’s Bend and the founding of the Freedom Quilting Bee—a movement where Black women turned stitches into sustenance and protest into art.  

Perfect for collectors, educators, and anyone moved by Southern Black history, this postcard is designed in a keepsake format with space to write your own message of love, legacy, or liberation.
