The Director The Arts and Lyceum Program Fisk University Nashville, Tenn.

Dear Director:

I am interested in knowing the possibility of a commemorative quilt being exhibited for a month at Fisk University in 1978. This particular quilt is an artistic and historical documentary; one of the thirty quilt blocks is about Fisk Institute and the Fisk Jubilee Singers and said block was executed by a Fisk graduate. The quilt is appropriate for gallery display.

I would appreciate receiving information on your 1978 schedule plans and tye type of security protection provided to minimize handling the above item.

The Afro-American Heritage Quilt is currently displayed at the Oregon His torical Society in Portland through September 30th.

Sincerely,

Gates [signature] Mrs. Osly J. Gates, Co-Chairman The Afro-American Heritage Bicentennial Commemorative Quilt Committee
