Thirteen historic African American Cemeteries across Pennsylvania received grant funding in Spring 2023 from Pennsylvania Hallowed Grounds and Preservation Pennsylvania to assist in their ongoing preservation efforts. Hear about how these grants came to be and what was accomplished by grant administrators, cemetery stewards and their preservation consultants! Register on the Evenbrite linked below to reserve your space!
This project is funded by the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund (AACHAF) through the National Trust for Historic Preservation with support from The JPB Foundation (NTHP) and The 1772 Foundation.
