At Macalester College (Hubert Humphrey's, Walter Mondale's, Khofi Annan's, and Jesse T. Eustice's alma mater) they have a thing called Interim in January. Students are allowed to do idependent study projects off campus. I got signed up with my favorite humanities Professor, Roger Blakely (God rest his soul) to go home and write an "Oral History" of Bynum, NC. I asked a high school friend and co-bicyclist to take the photos. She consented, and we got started. John Snipes of Bynum, NC told us about African Americans buried in the Chatham County Woods. As I recall, we searched for three days before we finally find the graveyard. Most graves in this cemetery are marked with rocks, but this one had a headstone. We made this grave rubbing in February 1983.
