Long-time Master Quilter teams up with Middle Schoolers to complete Black History Month project

(InvestigateTV) — Middle school classes rarely involve sewing. This group of students in Louisiana found a way to combine other school subjects like science and math with the art of quilting.

Cecelia Pedescleaux is a master quilter. She has been practicing the art for over 70 years.

Now, she is using her art to connect a new generation with the ways of the past all while honoring Black History Month.
