This collage was one of a series of a dozen original artworks created by Michael Cummings. They were commissioned as collage versions of his quilts to illustrate Alice McGill's book In the Hollow of Your Hand: Slave Lullabies. McGill collected and sung these lullabies since childhood; the book included a CD recording of each song, introduced and sung by McGill.
