"East End Cemetery was once a dignified final resting spot for prominent black citizens in the Richmond Virginia area.
In the days of segregated cemeteries, East End was lovingly maintained. But it has since fallen into disrepair.
Now a group of concerned citizens are trying to reclaim the space and the memories of those who are laid to rest there."

It is so nice to hear that people are not letting the cemetery be forgotten.

It is also sad that this cemetery has been in use relatively recently - less than 20 years, and has been left in neglect.

1. My son's boy's Catholic elementary had a service project like this

It was a great project as it instilled a sense of history, respect for others who have endured so many hardships, a sense of trying to make things whole again. They also got exposeure to GPS technology in the process.
