STORY TAILOR - Corene McDaniel presented “Code of the Underground Railroad” to students in Rend Lake College’s Student Transfer and Retention Support program Wednesday at the college. STARS administrators coordinated the presentation for Black History Month. McDaniel showed off dozens of colorful quilts and explained how each one was inspired by more than a century of slavery in the United States. Slavery in North America was outlawed when the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was adopted in 1865. CLICK HERE for a larger image.
