Spent the morning, appropriately, at Georgia Archives and the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society Metro Atlanta Chapter Symposium 2025. I was particularly interested in hearing Dr. DL Henderson talk about her book, Perpetual Segregation: Chronicling the Black Side of Atlanta’s Oakland Cemetery, hoping to gain insights that would help Lane Street Project and other cemetery research. My copy of Perpetual Segregation arrives tomorrow, and I can’t wait to study closely the points she could raise only briefly. I also had the good fortune to connect with the folks championing Atlanta’s Piney Grove Cemetery and look forward with meeting with them; sharing LSP’s wins and losses; and working their service days.
