After a couple events at Bethel Bara, we're returning to Penfield African American Cemetery in February. We'll be cleaning up fallen trees and debris, improving access to the cemetery, and documenting grave sites.
Also, if you are unable to join in person, consider donating to our fundraiser to support purchasing granite markers for each of the unmarked burial sites. Visit
