The 9/11 Peace Story Quilt was designed by artist Faith Ringgold and constructed in collaboration with New York City students aged 8-19. The quilt poignantly conveys the importance of communication across cultures and religions to achieve the goal of peace. Comprised of three panels, each with 12 squares on the theme of peace, the quilt is displayed in the Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education alongside several original works of art that inspired the quilt's content.
