- One Row Corn Planter, circa 1855 - Farmers planted corn in hills during the 19th century. That started a year-round effort to raise food for livestock and farm family. Some used single-row planters like this. Then they cultivated with a shovel plow until corn was knee-high. They then planted squash or pumpkins to keep down weeds and retain moisture (a form of double cropping). At harvest they husked ears (to feed pigs) and shocked stalks (to feed cattle).

- "Quilt Exhibit, Interior of Negro Building at Atlanta Exposition," 1895 - Former slave Harriet Powers made this striking Bible quilt, with its bold figures that depict biblical events, during the mid-1880s. A decade later, the quilt--sold by Powers out of need--was exhibited at this 1895 exposition in Atlanta. For decades, Powers received little recognition for her work. Today, she is one of the best-known Southern quilt makers.
