Sobre IBD

Sacred Ground is a true story about the lives of African-American families living in a small rural community during the early thirties through the twenty-first century. This book describes the resilience these families were in spite of the tragedies they experienced. Cemeteries surround this small community; so many, that if the cemeteries were an ocean, the community could be considered a peninsula.These families were subjected to the racial fury of the Deep South in the 1950s. Yet, they survived because they were on sacred ground. .
