On Monday, Oct. 30, members of the community are invited to the unveiling of a monument for the 500 unmarked graves discovered using ground penetrating radar at the Gallatin City Cemetery. The words above are inscribed on the monument.
When the Gallatin City Cemetery was established in 1814, it was segregated, and many Black residents were buried in the back of the property.
