Programs

The Richland Cemetery Learning Lab welcomes anyone interested in historical cemetery research and preservation. Apply what you learn in your own community—and, if you can, help us at Richland too. 

Stories from Our Elders
We listen to elders and record their memories through oral histories and video interviews. With their permission, we preserve these stories so families and future generations can hear them in their own words.

We are rebuilding burial records and recovering the stories of people buried at Richland, with a particular focus on identifying military veterans and documenting their lives and service.

Working with descendants, volunteers, and partners, we aim to make this history easier to find, understand, and share.

I AM Art Legacy connects young people with heritage and culture through artistic expression. Young artists explore stories, create work, and share their perspectives with the community.

This proposed corridor places Richland Cemetery within a larger landscape of African American education, enterprise, and community life in Greenville. 

The vision is to connect these places and their stories as research develops.
