In Greenville, NC, the Visitors and Convention Bureau lists no official Historical Sites of Afro-Americans. Afro-Americans have lived in Greenville since 1771. The Southside Seniors can be influential in promoting Historical Sites on Howell Street and the Town Common. Without records, generations of Blacks will have lost a vast and rich historical past. Immediate attention can be devoted to mapping unmapped graves, replacing the cow - pasture gate with an aesthetically pleasing one, placing historical data on the entrance sign or gate, retooling grave borders and headstones, replacing deteriorating vaults and broken headstones and building a retaining wall to hide the Public Works workstation from full view of the cemetery. With less than a decade left before Greenville's 250th Anniversary Celebration, Southside Seniors must become proactive to ensure some Black representation on this historic occasion. For in the words of the United Negro College Fund's slogan: A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE. Chronicled is a timeline of the Sycamore Hill Baptist Church/Brown Hill Cemeteries connections and profiles of Messers S. G. Wilkerson, Walter E. Flanagan and Professor Charles M. Eppes. May we never forget that the implementation of Moses' instructions can be a challenge to all: REMEMBER THE DAYS OF OLD, CONSIDER THE YEARS OF MANY GENERATIONS: ASK THY FATHER, AND HE WILL SHOW THEE; THY ELDERS, AND THEY WILL TELL THEE.

"This ghost story gave me chill after chill. It will haunt you." -- R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps "Do you know what it feels like to be forgotten?"On a cold winter night, Iris and her best friend, Daniel, sneak into a clearing in the woods to play in the freshly fallen snow. There, Iris carefully makes a perfect snow angel -- only to find the crumbling gravestone of a young girl, Avery Moore, right beneath her.Immediately, strange things start to happen to Iris: She begins having vivid nightmares. She wakes up to find her bedroom window wide open, letting in the snow. She thinks she sees the shadow of a girl lurking in the woods. And she feels the pull of the abandoned grave, calling her back to the clearing...Obsessed with figuring out what's going on, Iris and Daniel start to research the area for a school project. They discover that Avery's grave is actually part of a neglected and forgotten Black cemetery, dating back to a time when White and Black people were kept separate in life -- and in death. As Iris and Daniel learn more about their town's past, they become determined to restore Avery's grave and finally have proper respect paid to Avery and the others buried there.But they have awakened a jealous and demanding ghost, one that's not satisfied with their plans for getting recognition. One that is searching for a best friend forever -- no matter what the cost.The Forgotten Girl is both a spooky original ghost story and a timely and important storyline about reclaiming an abandoned segregated cemetery."A harrowing yet empowering tale reminding us that the past is connected to the present, that every place and every person has a story, and that those stories deserve to be told." -- Renée Watson, New York Times bestselling author of Piecing Me Together

Go Down, Moses weaves together the all-but-forgotten story of the rise and fall of the once-internationally famous Wings Over Jordan radio choir. Founded by Rev. Glenn T. Settle, pastor of Cleveland's Gethsemane Baptist Church, the choir won wholehearted support from the white management of WGAR, the "Friendly Station," to start a Sunday morning Negro Hour in 1937. Worth T. Kramer, WGAR's white program director, coached the Gethsemane singers for these broadcasts during the summer of 1937. By the end of the year, he and Settle had garnered a Sunday morning spot on the CBS Radio Network as Wings Over Jordan. The program rapidly gained popularity after half-hour nationwide broadcasts began in January, 1938. In the fall of 1938, the choir launched an extensive concert tour of the South to support the Negro-owned production company. Sunday programs originated from CBS affiliates along the way. Hundreds thousands of Blacks and whites attended the integrated concerts, breaking down racial barriers in cities and towns across the country. The Sunday radio program attracted millions of listeners in the United States and globally via the British Broadcasting Company. Wings Over Jordan was a civil rights broadcasting pioneer, offering Negro Spirituals conducted by Kramer, brief reflective commentaries by Settle, and short addresses on contemporary issues by mainly Black religious, educational, and business leaders.The program, with its message of racial healing, at first showcased naturally talented working-class singers, who began their labor of religious love as volunteers. The group later became more professionalized, continuing to create wonderful renditions of authentic Negro Spirituals on the radio and in Europe for the United Service Organization (USO) during World War II. After leaving CBS in 1947 because of a pay dispute, the choir continued tours in the U.S. and abroad.

Beyond the rustic gates of the Forest Hill Cemetery in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, lies a vast wealth of history. Early in 1870, George Sanderson, Elisha Phinney, William Breck, and J.A. Robertson, with J. Gardner Sanderson and George S. Kingsbury, purchased a 50-acre tract of land from the Pennsylvania Coal Company, which became the last resting place for the cemetery's 18,000 residents. The Civil War section of the cemetery is home to over 300 Union soldiers and two Confederates. Numerous congressmen, lieutenant governors, state representatives, and other elected officials make up Forest Hill's political graveyard. The rich, the poor, the famous, and the unsung all have stories to be told, and this book recounts their tales.
