kivers
-- quilts or blankets to "cover" up ``A kiver is an African quilt,`` Keeve said. ``A real quilt is made of scraps of different things, like silk, satin, wool. That`s what I conceive the black experience to be. Wherever you find another black person, he is a part of me. It doesn`t matter where they`re from. They are another square on my quilt.`` A Folk History of Slavery in the United States
