Historic Black cemetery celebrates 150 years in St. Louis with significant restoration

from St. Louis on the Air

Greenwood Cemetery has been through a major transformation in recent years — due in large part to a married couple who grew up in the area and felt called to restore the cemetery after it fell into disrepair. Raphael and Shelley Morris of the Greenwood Cemetery Preservation Association join to talk about the 150-year-old cemetery’s history, its restoration over the last nine years, and how they’ve partnered with area businesses and nonprofits to make the burial grounds a welcoming space for visitors and native wildlife.
