Don’t let its seemingly simple name fool you – Lexington’s “African Cemetery No. 2” has a rich and lasting history. Created as a final resting place for the dead, this landmark today helps illuminate the lives of the state’s African Americans through the tireless efforts of author Yvonne Giles, who locals affectionately call “The Cemetery Lady.”
