Southern Cemetery Chronicles with LadyG: No Rest For The Weary
In this episode, Madame Hailley takes you on a tour of a "slave cemetery." She also talks about burial practices for enslaved Africans from 1700-1865.
In addition, LadyG discusses the ongoing practice of burying over "slave cemeteries," as well as, relatively contemporary African American cemeteries.
NOTE: This is a conversation that includes frank references to the brutality that slaves endured, so if you are sensitive to the subject, please forego this episode and listen to one of my other episodes.
