Episode Details

Hidden beneath the hallowed grounds of Green Mount Cemetery in Baltimore lies a powerful, untold story — the lives of over a dozen African Americans buried there, many enslaved or serving prominent families. Now, a new two-hour tour called “Buried in Plain Sight” shines a spotlight on these overlooked heroes, celebrating their culture, foodways, and resilience. Inspired by the rediscovery of Martha Ann Atavis and others, this initiative by Baltimore Heritage aims to honor Black history at the cemetery — once thought to hold only one African American burial — and will run twice yearly as part of a broader mission to reveal the full, diverse tapestry of Baltimore’s past.
