Lack of Support For The Theory
This theory is not supported by documentary evidence, such as slave memoirs, Works Progress Administration oral history interviews of escaped slaves, or abolitionist accounts of the Underground Railroad. It is based solely on one person's oral history as related in the book, Hidden in Plain View. With the absence of supporting evidence for the secret quilt code, as described in the book, the theory is not accepted by all quilt historians as accurate.
To date, there have been a number of quilt historians who have posted information to their websites, written to newspapers, given talks to guilds, and or attended public meetings. They have challenged the plausibility of the quilt code.
