Thanks to Peter for sharing: “the reason for the continued P St NW to Calvert NW closure hasn’t been publicized nearly widely enough, and trail users are continuing to ignore the closure signs. If folks realized the reason for the closure I doubt they would continue.”
From Black Georgetown:
“Mt Zion and Female Union Band Society Cemeteries active 1808 -1950. The oldest Black cemeteries in Wash DC.
We have an unprecedented opportunity to rediscover two centuries of lost African American history in Georgetown and to develop a historic memorial park as a sacred space for quiet reflection, the respectful commemoration of the past, and to EDUCATE.
These cemeteries serve to preserve and create awareness of the heritage, contributions, and sacrifices these founders of Georgetown made during their lifetimes, and provide insight to their families and the community in which they lived during a time of deep segregation.”
