This is a small African-American Cemetery that has been neglected for years. In 2011 Trevon Barber led a group of volunteers and cleaned and cleared the cemetery. It took nearly 400 hours. But sadly, in 2018 once again, it has nearly been reclaimed by mother earth. When you first look at the cemetery you only see about 6 or 7 stones, but when you go a little farther in you can see a group of stones here and a group over there and so on all throughout this small piece of land.

The county's on-line property records are unclear as to who owns the cemetery. The cemetery is on Flint Street between Marshall and Workman streets in Rock Hill and at least a few stones can easily be seen from the street.

The cemetery has been victim to vandals as there are many large stones that have been toppled. There are also many unmarked graves as evidenced by sunken ground.

The oldest memorial belongs to Rev. H. Blake Pedd who was buried in 1921 and the most recent appears to be Artie Mishie Morant buried in 1963.
