Show Notes
The Lawrence NAACP chapter, led by president Ursula Minor, has spent six years honoring the memory of over one thousand unmarked graves at Oak Hill Cemeterys Potters Field. Theyve identified thirty Black families from the eighteen hundreds and will place headstones by June tenth, marking the centennial of three racially motivated lynchings. Minor, an artist and long-time community volunteer, aims to confront Lawrences full history and build a stronger community through this project.
