Provided Headstones at Segregated Cemetery

Jonathan and his team completed Project Reverence, an Eagle Scout service project honoring African Americans buried in Plot N of Rosemary Cemetery –— a once-forgotten segregated burial ground where individuals were laid to rest nearly a century ago. Through community collaboration, volunteer service and historical research, the project provided headstones and a museum-quality historical marker, ensuring these men and women are remembered with the dignity and respect they deserve.
