The story was propagated by authors Jacqueline L. Tobin and Raymond G. Dobard, Ph.D., in the book Hidden in Plain View. The book was published in 1999. Though it was not the first reference to the idea that quilts helped slaves escape to the north, it is the most famous.
Author Tobin met Ozella McDaniel Williams in 1994. Williams was a South Carolina quilt vendor who told Tobin stories she claimed were passed down through her family. This oral history, if confirmed, would change our understanding of methods of communicating about the Underground Railroad and routes to freedom.
The Evidence
Strong evidence in support of this story could consist of testimony of escaped slaves, or from former slaves after emancipation; testimony from freedom activists; public records or contemporary writings; or remaining textiles with long provenance and supporting documentation, among other things. Weaker evidence in support might include other contemporary information such as textile availability and use, for example; or direct linkages between African symbolism and the quilt code.
When the book was published, historians eagerly reviewed the possibilities to answer the question: Were quilts used to help guide slaves to freedom? Reputable historians of both the Underground Railroad and of quilts agree: there is insufficient evidence to support the premise that a quilt code was used to communicate this way.
Thanks for both this post and the previous UGRR post. When I give my quilt history program I always include a part about dispelling the myth. People are disappointed because it is such a romantic notion.
I have read many articles and a few books that agree with you. Something my husband has asked of people who believe the myth is how did the slaves know the code of these quilts. Many of the block which were said to have described the path to take are used in several areas under different names. So who knew which block was actually what was intended. These are questions that I needed answers to and like you never could find the proof. You are right we need to honor the slaves and the members of the Underground Railroad by knowing the truth.
How very interesting I just read your older, longer post And very timely as our group just finishing their underground railway quilts. Everyone was keen to tellll their school age grand children about it. The tutor is a retired school teacher herself. I admit to seeing holes in the logic of how the quilt s could be used as instructions, in another book I read, the runaway had stitched numbers into her petticoat to remind her of how many days walk she had between each landmark.

This simple TALE recognition code allows for any DNA site preceded by a T to be targeted by a TALE protein designed with the corresponding repeat sequence. Therefore, the TALE DNA-binding domain has been adapted for use in many technologies that require precise targeting of genomic loci. For example, dimeric TALE nucleases (TALENs) have been used in various organisms and cell lines to knock out genes by the introduction of indels or to create specific mutations2. Fusions of TALE monomers to transcriptional activation or repression domains can create artificial transcription factors, which have been shown to strongly and cooperatively modulate gene expression4,6,8. Monomeric TALE fusions to chromatin-modifying enzymes can introduce specific DNA or histone modifications at target loci, resulting in changes in expression of the associated genes3,5. TALEs can also be used to pull down specific genomic regions to identify bound proteins1. In addition, TALEs fused to fluorescent proteins can be used to visualize chromatin dynamics in live cells1,7. Although other technologies, (for example, CRISPR-Cas9) have also been developed for some of these targeting applications14, TALE versus dCas9 fusions might be more effective in different applications and having both technologies in the toolkit for genome engineering is likely optimal.
(a) Representative logo and ΔΔG estimates. The vertical bars represent the 95% credible interval (CI) and the points show the mean of the posterior distribution, in units of RT. The base predicted for each position by the TALE code is indicated below the logo. (b) Representative comparison between the probe z-scores measured in PBMs and the z-scores predicted by the derived PWM. Points represent the mean and vertical bars show its 95% CI. Points are coloured by the number of mismatches between the sequence in the probe and the consensus sequence predicted from RVD identities using the canonical TALE code. NTR, N-terminal region.
We trained the SIFTED model by performing a linear regression with Elastic Net regularization, using the ΔΔG values inferred for each protein as the input data34. To prevent overfitting and to assess performance, we used a nested leave-one-out cross-validation strategy. Briefly, one protein was held out from the data set in an iterative manner. The remaining proteins were divided into training and test sets, which were used to derive parameter values and to control the complexity of the model (Supplementary Fig. 6). The predicted PWM for each of the 21 TALE proteins was obtained from the model trained on data from the remaining 20 proteins in our data set (Fig. 1a). For specificity predictions of proteins not in our data set (for example, TALEN pairs), the regression was performed on the full data set (no proteins excluded) and the resulting model was used to make PWM predictions.
To assess how well our model explains binding, we used the PWMs obtained from the cross-validated SIFTED model to predict PBM probe signal intensities. The SIFTED PWMs accurately predict the probe-level PBM-binding data (median R2=0.877). In addition, SIFTED outperformed the specificity models from other available computational tools designed to predict off-target sites in explaining the PBM data (P
The plot shows the accuracy at predicting PBM probe intensities of a PWM predicted with no context features (top), with one single context feature added (middle) or with all context features included (bottom). Box plots are formatted as in Fig. 3a.
We validated that our SIFTED model can predict off-array binding affinity measurements (Kd values) more accurately than other published tools35 (Fig. 3b). Although PWMs cannot be used to predict absolute dissociation constants, they are able to predict the affinity of a sequence relative to that of the optimal binding site (that is, relative Kd values)36. The full SIFTED model performed significantly better than PROGNOS, TALE-NT 2.0, TALgetter, Talvez or a reduced SIFTED model with no context effects in predicting relative Kd values for 1 protein and 18 DNA sequences35.
