BETHESDA AFRICAN CEMETERY COALITION

The Coalition seeks to stop the desecration of Moses African Cemetery in Bethesda, Maryland and honor the ancestors whose resting place has been disturbed and whose history has been erased. BACC seeks to preserve the rich history of the resistance movement organized by the African maroon community on River Road, Graysville, and its survival strategies that provide important road maps for future generations. BACC does this by rigorously engaging in public education, legal strategies, community organizing and advocacy. Our long term goal is to create a living memorial, museum and community organizing center, a space in which historical struggles will inform the strategies of future generations on how to fight domination.
