Cemeteries and burial sites are important sources of African American history. This week we will host officers of The Friends of Geer Cemetery. The FoGC has revitalized that historic cemetery and currently have a historical exhibit, "In Plain Sight,"at the cemetery.

Dr. Sylvia Marie Jacobs was my mentor and thesis advisor. She is the reason that I am a professional historian. She defined for me, and a generation of students, what it means to be an outstanding educator, strong advocate for your students, and scholar. #BlackHistoryMonth2021
