@SavvyWroteThat Thanks for the share (just seeing)! 😁

@BCN_StoryShare Thank you! Yes, we're working on it! Who should we contact about documentation concerns?

Pinetown Cemetery is a cultural landmark in the Eastside community of Elbert County Georgia. There's a book about it. My people are buried there. But local officials recently allowed a developer to purchase part of it. A vote on Mon May 8 could change everything. Please help! 👇🏾

@Zakka4real @Imani_Barbarin Lots of ableism in remote hiring/culture still also. We need to push for and create remote opportunities for us by us.

@BCN_StoryShare A major victory yes, but a tenuous one. The landowner has 30 days to appeal, and meanwhile descendants still cannot access their ancestral burial grounds. 💔
Thx for RT @BCN_StoryShare

@EmorjaRoberson Prayers and condolences, Emorja 🙏🏾

@TeNuttt I like walking down to the ancestral cemetery in the neighborhood when I visit my hometown. It's quiet and peaceful. Wildflowers, birds singing.

@FluffLingering @rgay @AlsoWonderWoman The dark and scary part is who the endangered minority is...is it us?

📰 "Grave Concerns" Top Headline on Front Page News! 🗞️ Thanks to @TheElbertonStar for following the case of ancestral burial grounds on private property in rural GA @Change @BCN_StoryShare @googlemaps @NatGeo @11Alive @FoxNews #MappingBlackHistory #twitterstorians #deathstudies

@FluffLingering @rgay @AlsoWonderWoman We do have it - it's us. To your point about educating the masses tho, well... there is a perspective from which that goal has been achieved remarkably well. Those who disagree with the contents and outcomes of that education appear to be both in the minority and endangered.
