摘要

1914年，随着种族隔离法案的通过，十多个非裔美国人的坟墓从北卡罗来纳州新伯尔尼的白雪松林公墓被挖掘出来，重新埋葬在附近的黑格林伍德公墓。一个世纪后，当地社区活动人士联系了东卡罗莱纳大学的人类学家，调查这起暴行的发生地。考古工作重新安置了重新埋葬的遗骸，发现它们的状况非常糟糕，以至于该市选择张贴纪念这段历史的标志，而不是再次移动坟墓。城市和大学之间的合作能够产生一个可接受的，如果不是完美的，解决潜在的不稳定问题。

A Community Activist, a Cultural Anthropologist, and an Archaeologist Walk into a Cemetery: Re-establishing Community Pride After a Jim Crow Atrocity

ABSTRACT In 1914, following the passage of Jim Crow segregation laws, over a dozen African American graves were exhumed from the primarily White Cedar Grove Cemetery in New Bern, North Carolina and reburied in the nearby Black Greenwood Cemetery. A century later, local community activists contacted anthropologists at East Carolina University to investigate the site of this atrocity. Archaeological work relocated the reburied remains and found them to be in such poor condition that the city elected to post signage commemorating this history rather than moving the graves yet again. The collaboration between the city and the university was able to produce an acceptable, if not perfect, solution to a potentially volatile problem.

期刊介绍： Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage provides a focal point for peer-reviewed publications in interdisciplinary studies in archaeology, history, material culture, and heritage dynamics concerning African descendant populations and cultures across the globe. The Journal invites articles on broad topics, including the historical processes of culture, economics, gender, power, and racialization operating within and upon African descendant communities. We seek to engage scholarly, professional, and community perspectives on the social dynamics and historical legacies of African descendant cultures and communities worldwide. The Journal publishes research articles and essays that review developments in these interdisciplinary fields.
