Much of America’s rich history is being lost to time. In the South, vast amounts of African-American gravesites and burial grounds for enslaved persons have been disappearing over the years.

Those with personal connections to these burial sites have recently begun to uncover and maintain locations across the state.

Unmarked not only explores these untold stories of the past but also the efforts underway to preserve them.
