  • Les courtepointes de Gee's Bend sont des courtepointes créées par un groupe de femmes et leurs ancêtres qui vivent ou ont vécu dans le hameau afro-américain isolé de Gee's Bend en Alabama, le long de la rivière Alabama. Ces courtepointes sont considérées comme uniques et constituent l'une des contributions visuelles et culturelles afro-américaines les plus importantes à l'histoire de l'art aux États-Unis. Arlonzia Pettway, Annie Mae Young et Mary Lee Bendolph sont parmi les plus remarquables quilteuses de Gee's Bend. De nombreux habitants de la communauté peuvent retrouver leur origine dans les esclaves de la plantation de Pettway. Arlonzia Pettway se souvient des récits de ses ancêtres de sa grand-mère, en particulier de Dinah Miller, qui a été amenée aux États-Unis par un navire négrier en 1859. (fr)
