In the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, 2 historic cemeteries lie side by side, separated by 2 centuries of racial history. On one side: Oak Hill, a lush slope of well-tended graves of congressmen, publishers and cabinet members who were, with few exceptions, white. On the other: the Mount Zion and Female Union Band Society Cemetery, photographed here by @lexey. Broken gravestones lie in large piles and dogs and their owners have taken the place of mourners for the slaves, freedmen and mostly black citizens buried below. After the Civil War, the cemetery — which is thought to have been part of the Underground Railroad — became a grazing ground for the horses of Washington’s Metropolitan Railroad. Then, Georgetown began to change, and the black population found itself marginalized. The last burial was in 1950. Efforts to rescue Mount Zion, which began in the 1970s, have become a case study in the difficulty of preserving black history, even in a capital where the @nmaahc opened last month to widespread acclaim.
