These are the ruins of the first African American cemetery that was in operation from 1911 - 1944. The property was saved from development and donated to the Galveston Historical Foundation in 2006. What remains of the cemetery is representative of what happened to the civil rights movement following the storm of 1900, the birth of Jim Crow and the replacement of the Mayor - Alderman from of government with a commission of appointed and at large elections. | Creator: Archeological site | Date: 1911- 1944 | Source: Photograph by Heather Redmon | Rights: unrestricted Download Original File
