## Resource

A historic Black cemetery in Ohio is getting a $1 million lifeline—$750,000 from the National Park Service and $250,000 from Fifth Third Bank—to preserve the final resting place of over 12,000 ancestors, including abolitionists and veterans. Once moved from Avondale to Madisonville in the 1800s, the United Colored American Cemetery has long relied on Union Baptist Church for upkeep. Now, with renewed funding and a surprising partnership born from a 2021 lawsuit over drainage damage, the community sees this as a powerful step to honor the past and protect a vital piece of American history for future generations.
