On the back of Gwendolyn Ann Magee’s quilt “God of Our Weary Years” the image appears to be a young man in a slave stockade, said Lawrence Jenkens, who heads UNCG’s art department. Some of Magee’s quilts are on exhibit at UNCG’s Gatewood Gallery through Nov. 8. Magee was a High Point native and a 1963 graduate of UNCG.
