- The Gee's Bend Quilters Collective has created "The Black Fives Basketball Jersey Quilt: A Black History Masterpiece"
Claude Johnson travels to Gee's Bend, Alabama, the remote cradle of African American quiltmaking, to visit with Mary Ann Pettway, the manager and matriarch of the Gee's Bend Quilters Collective. They've been making priceless quilts for generations. He's picking up a quilt Mary Ann has created that features remnants of Black Fives throwback jerseys he shipped to her pre-COVID. Claude hasn't seen it yet in person, making the reveal a special moment for all. He also meets up with Mary Ann's family. Meanwhile, the quilt itself is like the Rosetta Stone for the Black Fives Era of basketball!

She has a ministry in her hands. The fact that she trusted God to start the journey with this quilt before surgery on her eyes. This quilt is a blessing. Thank you for sharing the story of the quilt's evolution, as well as yours.
My auntie is indeed “One of a kind”! She has a beautiful gift of telling stories through her quilts! I’m so proud of you my living legend! 💖👑💖👑
Absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you for this story on so many levels...Black Fives, Gees Bend, and the richness of African American quilting itself.
The Black Fives quilt is definitely "A Black History Masterpiece". This is such a beautiful short documentary. To see the Black Fives jerseys come alive in the form of a quilt, oh how beautiful. And to know that it was done by Mary Ann Pettway of Gee's Bend Alabama, that truly was another history making moment.
This is so uplifting! I hope everyone in America hears about it and watches this. Mary Ann, I will always treasure the conversations we had several years ago when I got the chance to write a bit about you. Your work is, indeed, divine. To see the painstaking stitch by stitch that goes into your creations was humbling, to say the least. "Masterpiece," indeed!
Yes indeed!
This warmed my heart. It is so amazing. I had the pleasure of spending time with Mary Ann Pettway in March 2020 at a Gee's Bend Retreat. She is was of the sweetest person I have ever met.
