Cincinnati Cemetery Gets Major Preservation Boost

Cincinnati’s historic United Colored American Cemetery, a sacred resting place for Civil War veterans and abolitionists, is getting a major revival thanks to a powerful new partnership. Union Baptist Church and Fifth Third Bank are teaming up to preserve this 1800s-era site, with the bank donating $50,000 and pledging to match community contributions up to $200,000 over three years. Already, restoration work is underway — brush cleared, sidewalks laid, and a new fence installed — to honor the more than 12,000 graves that tell a century of African American resilience and legacy.
