CreditsACE Website and Research Center produced by the Association for Cultural Equity in collaboration with the Rock Foundation Alan Lomax likened American culture to a patchwork quilt "made of the dreams and songs of all its people," and he used the patchwork motif for one of his last paeans to the American people, the PBS series American Patchwork. It is in that spirit that we chose the quilt backgrounds for this website. Concept: Anna Lomax Wood, John Tan, Don Fleming, Bob MosesWebsite and Digital Media Catalog Development: John M.
