It's nonsense. IMO, one woman's oral "tradition" does not an entire body of
folklore make.

Subject: Codes in slave quilts


Hi all,

I just found a blurb on codes in slave quilts on the NSA museum site
here: http://www.nsa.gov/publications/publi00011.cfm

I thought we had a discussion on here a while back about how most of
that info was disproven but I can't find it in the archives.

Does anyone have info about if codes were used in slave quilts or not?

Just curious!

Thanks!

deb
