Richmond's Historic Cemeteries

"In Richmond--Virginia's capital and once the capital of the Confederacy--deathways and burial practices have changed dramatically over time, yet the color line for preservation and memorialization held steady until recent activist groups stepped forward to reclaim the commemorative landscape for the remains of people of color. Smith traces the disparities between resting sites that have been well maintained and those that have been worn away, dug up, or built over. A work of public history, this book shows how cemeteries can illustrate changes in politics and society across time"--
