In this photo from January, 2020, the Hockley-Clay Cemetery has been cleared and marked. It’s taken one more step toward an official historic designation, and with it preservation of a piece of San Antonio’s Black history.Josie Norris /The San Antonio Express-News
History is what we cherish; neglected gardens we discover and nurture, special people we won’t allow to be forgotten. Whether we celebrate it in public ceremony or private commemoration, the importance of celebrating history is that we also teach it.
Unmarked graves are lives that, if not already forgotten, will soon be lost in the brushes of time. Stories not told equate to history unheard and forgotten.
