On June 19, members of the Bethesda African Cemetery Coalition (BACC) will be meeting at the entrance to Moses Cemetery in Bethesda (5214 River Road, MD) to honor the deceased and to call for an end of the desecration and ongoing flooding and theft of the cemetery’s land by private developers. Metro DC DSA will be tabling at the event and joining the rally in solidarity and in the spirit of resistance to white supremacy.
The event will include a number of speakers, including historian C.R. Gibbs, Busboys and Poets Founder Andy Shallal and Peabody Award-winning journalist Carl Nelson. The program will also feature local musicians, the Walt Whitman high school drumline and dance troupe and others.
