Additional Description:
In Dedication April 4, 1999
In the annals of history simple things often illustrate great things. Sacrifice, courage, bravery, great deeds or exploits. So it is with this cemetery. Established more than one hundred years age - slaves - black men and women, caught up in the inextricable chains of bondage, buried their loved ones on this site from the Job Key and Peter Blow plantations (the latter where Dred Scott hailed) not the site of Oakwood College; from other plantations and homesteads they buried them - slaves and former slaves we remember them. We honor them.
Delbert W. Baker, President, Oakwood College
