From Daisha Board Gallery:
“Deep in the piney woods of East Texas, beneath a roughly 200-year-old overgrown and almost forgotten cemetery, is national journalist and filmmaker Rodney Hawkins’ family history. He began a journey to restore the Old Mount Gillion Cemetery in Nacogdoches, Texas—the oldest town in the state. His goal was to find the history buried beneath the surface and properly honor his ancestors but he found so much more. During his efforts, he sees the embodiment of the African-American experience: over 400 years of loss, survival and triumph. This is the story of America’s buried past.”
