Download or read book Hidden History written by Lynn Rainville and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hidden History, Lynn Rainville travels through the forgotten African American cemeteries of central Virginia to recover information crucial to the stories of the black families who lived and worked there for over two hundred years. The subjects of Rainville’s research are not statesmen or plantation elites; they are hidden residents, people who are typically underrepresented in historical research but whose stories are essential for a complete understanding of our national past. Rainville studied above-ground funerary remains in over 150 historic African American cemeteries to provide an overview of mortuary and funerary practices from the late eighteenth century to the end of the twentieth. Combining historical, anthropological, and archaeological perspectives, she analyzes documents—such as wills, obituaries, and letters—as well as gravestones and graveside offerings. Rainville’s findings shed light on family genealogies, the rise and fall of segregation, and attitudes toward religion and death. As many of these cemeteries are either endangered or already destroyed, the book includes a discussion on the challenges of preservation and how the reader may visit, and help preserve, these valuable cultural assets.

Book Synopsis Hidden and Sacred by : Jonathan Smith

Book excerpt: The purpose of thesis is to identify an Eastern North Carolina African American Burial Pattern through the survey of Black Bottom Cemetery and the comparison of this cemetery to others in Eastern North Carolina as well as the Southeastern United States. Black Bottom Memorial Cemetery is a community cemetery comprised of over 600 marked and unmarked graves in which the earliest marked burial dates to 1907 and the most recent burials to 1999. Grave markers used range from locally crafted folk styles from materials such as concrete to commercial marble monuments. The cemetery began on the highest ground within the plot and expanded to nearby low-lying areas. During the Civil Rights era of the 1950s and 1960s a change occurred in the cemetery in which family plots moved to a more visible location closer to the road bordering the property, the style of markers changed to a flat slab provided by the funeral home, and rows of individual burials, as opposed to groups of family plots, were established in the eastern section of the cemetery. In Black Bottom Memorial Cemetery grave decorations are found in scatters centering on individual graves or grave groups and appear to have broken over time due to natural factors. The vessels are predominately decorated household items such as painted ceramics and molded glass. Grave orientation and grouping is another key characteristic of African American cemeteries. Graves in the Black Bottom Memorial Cemetery are primarily arranged in family clusters, orientation varies widely and seems to be of secondary importance to proximity to family clusters, in other words, burial near family was of greater importance than maintaining a strict east-west alignment. Comparison with other, roughly contemporary, African American cemeteries in the Southeast reveals similar characteristics in grave decorations and grave alignment. Data from the survey of Black Bottom Memorial Cemetery and the comparison cemeteries suggests that large amounts of ceramic and glass fragments or vessels, folk or locally made markers, and graves clustered in family groups rather than in ordered plots are strong indicators of post-emancipation through the Civil Rights era African American cemeteries. After the Civil Rights Movement, grave decoration shifted to alternative decorative materials such as banners, solar lights, and other items. The higher visibility of the graves suggests that a change in attitudes regarding entitlement to a place in mainstream culture occurred but that traditional practices of grave decoration continue in a modified form.

Book excerpt: The end of slavery in North America presented an opportunity for African Americans in Jacksonville, Florida to reinvent themselves. The reconstruction era brought about new social, political, and economic opportunities for African Americans living in Jacksonville. Despite the failure of Reconstruction and the implementation of Jim Crow, Jacksonville gave birth to a vibrant African American aristocracy. Jacksonville's Black elite comprised of doctors, lawyers, morticians, religious leaders, business people and other professionals. Jacksonville's Black elite thrived in the early half of the twentieth century, many of them used their knowledge and skills to contribute to the social and economic development of Jacksonville's African American community. During this period, Jacksonville's African American aristocracy provided their community with legal protection, healthcare, vocational training, employment opportunities, goods, and other critical services such as life insurance and burial. This study centers on a historical African American cemetery cluster that was established during the early twentieth century by Jacksonville's Black aristocrats. This cemetery cluster consists of four cemeteries which include: Pinehurst, Mount Olive, Sunset Memorial, and Memorial. This cluster is located on the Northside of Jacksonville city, along the intersecting roads of 45th street and Moncrief road, and contains an estimated 70,000 African American burials. I argue that this cemetery is reflective of the social, political, and economic changes undergone by Jacksonville's African American community.
Book Synopsis African American Mortality by : Dawn C. Stricklin
Download or read book African American Mortality written by Dawn C. Stricklin and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent reports reveal that a centuries-long trend in mortality has reversed, with post-1980 rural populations now being vulnerable to higher death rates than urban areas (Cossman et al. 2010). Scholars have also documented a post-1980 "return migration" of urban African Americans returning to rural regions (Stack 1996, Falk et al. 2004). The purpose of this research was: 1) to determine if the high urban mortality from 1900 to 1979 is related to the mass migration of rural African Americans to northern cities; 2) to discern if the high rural mortality post-1980 is related to the return migration of African Americans to southern rural regions; and 3) to test whether or not holistic and interdisciplinary research which incorporates the Racial Context of Origins will reveal discrepancies when compared to life table analyses. While the post-1980 "return migration" of urban African Americans to rural regions is of interest to scholars, the lack of death data needed to study them is often non-existent, often resulting in the exclusion of these marginalized populations from research (Sattenspiel and Stoops 2010:7). In order to test the above hypotheses, a replicable methodology that incorporates Read and Emerson's (2005) call for the incorporation of a new theoretical concept in data collection and analysis, the Racial Context of Origins, was formulated in order to extract mortality data from these and other minority populations when archival data seemingly does not exist. Relying upon a fusion of biological and cultural anthropology and genealogical methods, this study's main objectives were: 1) to collect vital statistics from and reconstruct three cemeteries that represent rural, semi-rural, and urban African American populations from 1880-2010 in order to document the mortality profiles through the use of life table analyses; 2) to compile narrative genealogies and migration histories through various archival records, integrating the Racial Context of Origins, by focusing on a semi-rural cemetery which represents a spectrum of both rural and urban lifestyles; and 3) to compare and contrast the statistical mortality profiles with the narrative genealogies and histories. The rural and semi-rural cemetery's reconstructed burial registers resulted in 122 narrative genealogies that collectively revealed a migratory pattern where the rural and semi-rural populations in Missouri moved to urban cities prior to 1980, later returning to rural areas post-1980, findings confirmed by the life tables. Although only a single ethnic group was studied, the results indicated that post-1980 high rural mortality was at least in part affected by African American migration. Incorporating a methodology that included the Racial Context of Origins to reconstruct records from which to extract data provided more, and better, data with which to work. The methodology used to reconstruct archival records increased the sample size by 85%. As a result, there were no discrepancies in the life tables because those data were extracted from the reconstructed records.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Located on Charleston's Neck, immediately west of Magnolia Cemetery's main entrance, are a number of small cemeteries created by a variety of ethnicities and religions. These small cemeteries all possess the same physical orientation, giving no indication that the sites were created by differing groups. Among these are Friendly Union Cemetery, Brown Fellowship Cemetery, Humane and Friendly Cemetery, and Unity and Friendship Cemetery. All four cemeteries were created just before the outbreak of the Civil War by Free People of Color who organized themselves into benevolent societies. Free People of Color were African Americans who were not enslaved but did not enjoy the civil liberties possessed by white citizens. The benevolent societies that Free People of Color created provided a sense of security, especially financially, to people in an uncertain position. This thesis seeks to understand the people who created these cemeteries and their benevolent societies. To accomplish this, a study of the status of Free People of Color and the social structure of benevolent societies was conducted. The cemeteries were studied to determine the level of activities of each society and to understand how the societies have faded in the 20th century. The decline of each community and the impact of this decline is the second half of this thesis.
Download or read book Grave History written by Kami Fletcher and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grave sites not only offer the contemporary viewer the physical markers of those remembered but also a wealth of information about the era in which the cemeteries were created. These markers hold keys to our historical past and allow an entry point of interrogation about who is represented, as well as how and why. Grave History is the first volume to use southern cemeteries to interrogate and analyze southern society and the construction of racial and gendered hierarchies from the antebellum period through the dismantling of Jim Crow. Through an analysis of cemeteries throughout the South-including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Virginia, from the nineteenth through twenty-first centuries-this volume demonstrates the importance of using the cemetery as an analytical tool for examining power relations, community formation, and historical memory. Grave History draws together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, including historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, and social-justice activists to investigate the history of racial segregation in southern cemeteries and what it can tell us about how ideas regarding race, class, and gender were informed and reinforced in these sacred spaces. Each chapter is followed by a learning activity that offers readers an opportunity to do the work of a historian and apply the insights gleaned from this book to their own analysis of cemeteries. These activities, designed for both the teacher and the student, as well as the seasoned and the novice cemetery enthusiast, encourage readers to examine cemeteries for their physical organization, iconography, sociodemographic landscape, and identity politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis documents a 20th century African American cemetery located in Tallahassee Florida. Hickory Hill Cemetery which was utilized by sharecroppers living and working on the Welaunee Plantation has not been properly surveyed since 1997. A survey of the cemetery was conducted in winter of 2022 which utilized an EDM total station to create a map of the site. By documenting the condition of the site along with historical research the author was able to create spatial maps that represent different family groupings, and headstone types. The author also provides background knowledge on Middle Florida plantation life, African American burial traditions, Welaunee Plantation, and sharecropping. A family tree was also created to depict how individuals buried within the cemetery are related to one another.
