Help us honor history and serve our community by cleaning up the cemetery behind J. Michael Lunsford Middle School.About the Cemetery: Due to the small size of headstones and limited historical records, it is believed that this historic site is believed to be the final resting place of African Americans who were formerly enslaved. The cemetery fence is now overgrown with vines, and the site needs our care.
What We'll Do:
✔️ Pick up trash and debris
✔️ Clear overgrowth from the fence and grounds
✔️ Ensure the path to the cemetery is accessible
This is a meaningful way to show respect for those buried there and preserve an important part of our community's history. Families are welcome!
What to Wear:
✔️ Old shoes or boots
✔️ Long sleeves and long pants
What to Bring (if you have them):
✔️ Garden or work gloves
✔️ Yard clippers/hand tools
We'll provide yard waste bags.
