Word of the Day... ' kivers '

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.`` SLAVE    NARRATIVES A Folk History of Slavery in the United States From Interviews with Former Slaves TYPEWRITTEN RECORDS PREPARED BY THE FEDERAL WRITERS' PROJECT  1936-1938 ASSEMBLED BY THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS PROJECT WORK PROJECTS ADMINISTRATION  FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SPONSORED BY THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS   Illustrated with Photographs          WASHINGTON 1941 VOLUME XIII OKLAHOMA NARRATIVES Prepared by the Federal Writers1 Project of the Works Progress Administration for the State of Oklahoma http://memory.loc.gov/mss/mesn/130/130.1.txt
