Cecil and I are back in Sumter County, this time exploring an old African American cemetery and the remains of a historic schoolhouse. Hidden down a dirt road, this cemetery holds the stories of those who came before, with worn headstones and unmarked graves offering silent testimony to the past. Nearby, we uncover what’s left of a school that once served the local African American community—its walls collapsing, but still lingering in the landscape. Join us as we document these forgotten places, piecing together the history that time nearly erased.
