| Abstract | Educator and quilter Serena Wilson was born on March 18, 1934 in Edgefield, South Carolina. She attended West Virginia State College from 1952 to 1955 and earned her B.S. degree in elementary education from Bluefield State College in 1968. She earned her M.A. degree in psychology in 1973. As a child, Wilson learned the basics of quilting. As an adult, she mastered the art of quilting and made these works of fiber art available to people in South Carolina, Ohio and communities across the country. Wilson and her daughter, Teresa R. Kemp, launched and became co-owners of the McDaniel Secret Quilt Code Program and Museum Exhibit. The program was designed to increase public awareness of quilting and its place in African American history, especially as it relates to the Underground Railroad and activities associated with moving 19th-century Americans from slavery to freedom. Wilson passed away on February 9, 2012. |
