Here I Lay My Burdens Down, A History of the Black Cemeteries of Richmond, Virginia

By Veronica Davis

“Just as writing has proven to be a pleasure and a pain, so has my research on the black cemeteries of Richmond. Though I have met many great people during my research adventure, it was those that were blinded by the eyes of ignorance that proved to be the most informative and ill informed. My words, I know are quite contradicting, but so has been the research on the cemeteries, which I feel is equal to that of Black History.”
