ASALH Convention Highlights Preservation of African-American Burial Ground: "There's a movement going on 100 miles south of D.C., in the capital of the Confederacy to ensure that the ancestral legacy of an African-American burial ground is preserved.
The "sacred space" is located in the Shockoe Bottom area of Richmond, Va., and keeping it intact was the topic of a panel discussion during the 96th annual convention of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). The five-day event convened Oct. 5-9 at the downtown Marriott, drawing hundreds of attendees from across the country."
