Burial Database Project of Enslaved African Americans
Burial grounds of enslaved African Americans are primarily unmarked, abandoned, and are increasingly vanishing from our landscape--taking with them history, heritage, and a people's place in the world. The initial stage of our work is to document as many burial grounds as possible by taking a public census of their location. To assist in our efforts, a website (www.vanishinghistory.org) has been established.
