What secrets does a 19th century burial ground hold, when the stones have no words or dates, and family folklore says they belonged to enslaved people? In this episode, I'm joined by William Isom II of Black in Appalachia, my co-researcher on this burial ground project for the past ten years. For almost two centuries, gravestones with no inscriptions have huddled in the woods on my family's land, covered in graveyard ivy. From a death portrait to a woven coverlet to ground penetrating radar that revealed the remains, we slowly pieced together their story as we asked the questions: Who were they? Is the family story true? And listen as Will narrates an incredible discovery.
