What a historical find it should be classified as an historical cemetery

I attended their Juneteenth Celebration and book signing today. It was wonderful.

Even in death, we’re segregated. Crazy. This is with all old southern cemeteries.

We have to persevere these graves of our ancestors if you could help find the descendants of those buried tht would be great help to those who need help tracing their family and have no luck

Technically the property contained another man's property. 3/5.

[@Lonnie-wu3li]

How does anyone know who's buried in these graves. I know from experience how difficut it is to prove.
