SUMMARY:Decoration Day at Stones River National Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:On May 1\, 1865\, thousands of formerly enslaved people marched to a Union cemetery near Charleston\, South Carolina. The marchers laid fresh-cut flowers at the graves\, sang songs and celebrated their freedom\, purchased at such a great cost during the Civil War. \n\nIn the years following the end of the war\, African American communities\, such as the Cemetery Community that emerged on the Stones River battlefield after the war\, continued to celebrate their freedom and honor the sacrifices that made it possible on Decoration Day. \n\n\nWe invite members of our community to follow in the footsteps of those that called Cemetery home and place flowers at the graves in Stones River National Cemetery. The event will begin at the Stones River National Cemetery rostrum with a program featuring longtime volunteer and historian Gary Burke as well as inspirational music. \n\n\nThe African American Heritage Society of Rutherford County and the Friends of Stones River National Battlefield will provide a limited number of flowers for placement. We’re asking all participants to consider bringing a small bunch of flowers. Event is free to the public.
