Slave Cemetery, Culloden

Placed in 2000, adjacent to the Culloden City Cemetery, this memorial reads: We know not who they are, but they are loved ones of God and man and will never be forgotten. The fact that enslaved people were so disregarded as human beings is why so many of their identities are lost. These sorts of memorials are a first step at reclaiming this history, and, while a noble gesture, are a sad commentary on the past.

    Could you please do a section on Dahlonega, GA? I grew up there and the town as it was has all but become a thing of the past. Atlanta’s sprawl has taken over, but many of the iconic places are still there…just pushed to the side. I would love to see those photographed before they are gone or changed beyond recognition.
