African-American Cemetery Category
I am interested in documenting the growing number of rural African-American cemeteries, personally my focus would be Hudson Valley or NY State. Of course many old African-American cemeteries were not marked or not marked well and have been left "undiscovered" for a century. There has been more attention to these recently in Mid-Hudson Valley NY (Mt Zion in Kingston rededicated, "Section E" in Rhinebeck assesed, Kinderhook and I see others coming into view). Two questions. 1) Notability. These for the most part would not be Nationally Registered historic places, but collectively they add up an unarticulated history of African Americans in rural NYS in the 18th and 19th centuries that has not been documented.  2) If qualifying as notable, should there be a new category that would recognize this distinction, such as "African-American rural cemeteries" or "African-American rural cemeteries in NY State."
