Tennessee

The graveyard has some small tombstones in front that look like small pillars broken off too close to the ground. These 18, two foot pillars are covered with lichen which is what happens to everything around here if it doesn't keep moving.

These are slave graves and markers, with only dates of death and a cross chiseled into the granite.

Seems that years ago the church was on top the hill and the slaves were buried in the back of the grave yard. They were hidden in the back by the now giant maple trees, where no one could really see them.

Since then, the church has moved to the bottom of the hill by the road. Now the slaves are buried in the front of the graveyard, where they should be, for all the world to see.
