Yesterday, the community came together for the first of two scheduled clean-ups at Hamilton Burial Garden. I was surprised and touched to learn that Donta Chestnut also took some time to bring lawn maintenance professional Quell to Odd Fellows. Speaking live on Facebook, Chestnut showed Quell and others around while relaying the story of Samuel H. Vick, the histories of both Odd Fellows and Vick Cemeteries, and Lane Street Project.

So much work to do here and at Hamilton, and it’s going to take the whole village’s commitment.  This, y’all, is how we honor our past and our present! Thank you!
