Fergerson Cemetery was founded in 1907 when Minnie, Alice, and Annie Feegerson donated land to start a cemetery for Black residents. Since I took these photos a few years ago, there has been an effort to restore the cemetery and document as many burials as possible. It sits next to Guyton Cemetery, which was initially only for white residents.
