WARWICK-The Albert Wisner Public Library will present a Mothers' Day Program on Friday, May 6, at 7 p.m. The film, Hearts and Hands, will be shown with a quilt display and refreshments immediately following. Several area quilters will be on had to show their works and answer questions about their craft. The film, Hearts and Hands: The Influence of Women & Quilts on American Society, tells the stories of ordinary women as well as individuals such as Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Keckley, Frances Willard and Abigail Scott Duniway through the great 19th-century events. It emphasizes quilts as a means of revealing the social history of women. The film presents fragments of time, illustrated by needlework, which tell a story of the ultimate triumph of women during a century from which we usually hear few female voices.
