Kyra E. Hicks taught herself to quilt after visiting a museum exhibit of African American story quilts in 1991. Her quilts have been shown in such prestigious venues as the American Folk Art Museum in New York, the Smithsonian Institution's Renwick Gallery in Washington DC, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford. One of her quilts, Dare I Trust the American Flag?, is included in the Permanent Collection of the Museum of Arts & Design in New York City. Kyra's story quilts have been featured in several books, including Textural Rhythms: Quilting the Jazz Tradition by Carolyn Mazloomi (2007), Creating Black Americans by Nell Irvin Painter (2005), and American Quiltmaking 1970 – 2000 by Eleanor Levie (2004).

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Rich with Patterns of Deep Meaning and Integrity, May 22, 2007 By  Author-Poet Aberjhani "The American Poet Who ... (Georgia, United States) - See all my reviews    Amazing work: This engaging and detailed account of the creation of Liberia's national flag reads as both dynamic history and empowering inspiration. Very much like an actual quilt, Kyra E. Hicks' "The Liberian Flag Story" is encoded with much care, meaning, and love. On the surface of this insightful write is the remarkable tale of African-American men and women who decided to reshape their destinies, and that of much of the world, as pioneering African men and women. Beneath that surface are great lessons in the power and grace of respect for the integrity of all human beings--even when those human beings distinguish themselves primarily by an ability to stitch and sew. Of particular note in this short are the mini-bios on the 7 women who formed the Flag Committee. As if the wealth of insight and information provided in "The Liberian Flag Story" were not enough, Hicks makes a gift to the reader of the pattern for her own extraordinary "Love of Liberty Quilt." This is one particular Amazon Short with the potential to go a very long way in value and application. by Author-Poet Aberjhani author of The Harlem Renaissance Way Down South and Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance (Facts on File Library of American History) Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
