By state law, people of African ancestry had to worship and be buried apart from people of European ancestry. The little African-American Graveyard in front of St. Philips Church was neglected, but has been restored to its simple dignity. A few original stones remain: Squire, above, had a stone just like the ones in God’s Acre, because, African or European, slave or free, all are equal in death. Most of the unmarked graves have now been marked with square flat stones in the Moravian manner.
