"The
circle unbroken. And when your fingers talk just right, that circle
will go out and out again--past slavery and freedom, old ways and new,
and your basket will hold the past--just as surely and tightly as my
ams now hold and circle you." Margot Theis Raven in Circle
Unbroken
The
story of an old-timey grandfather's family that covers generations is
told by a grandmother. Their roots are traced from the old-timey grandfather's
childhood in Africa where he learned to sew baskets that would hold
water to the present family in America where they continue to teach
their children the unique basket-making skill. Throughout their dark
days of slavery, the baskets and family stories brought light to the
family. Today, they remember their ancestors and share their light with
tourists who purchase their beautiful coiled sweetgrass baskets.
