I recently blogged about deteriorating conditions at Hamilton Burial Garden, the most recently established of the six historically African-American cemeteries lining Bishop L.N. Forbes Street. The community has stepped up to organize a clean-up at Hamilton on August 30. I encourage everyone to pitch in — and to show the same love when Lane Street Project’s next clean-up season starts in January 2026. These are our people. Those buried in Hamilton are the grandsons and granddaughters of the men and women buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery.

THIS IS GREAT NEWS!
