RICHMOND, Va. Volunteers came together to clean up a historic cemetery on the Richmond-Henrico line Saturday.
The Sons and Daughters of Ham Cemetery is located between Bandy Field Nature Park and the University of Richmond.
The cemetery, which was established in 1873 by emancipated slaves after the Civil War, is the final resting place for an unknown number of people. However, many are believed to be the enslaved who toiled on the plantation of B. W. Green on Three Chopt Road.
