The Friends of East End is an all-volunteer nonprofit working to reclaim East End Cemetery, a historic African American burial ground, from nature and neglect. With the help of thousands of other volunteers, we seek to transform the cemetery into a public site of memory, contemplation, and beauty that honors Richmond’s black community and history.
For more information about East End and the people buried there, please visit eastendcemeteryrva.com. To find out how to join the restoration effort, go to eastendcemetery.wordpress.com.
