Benevolent Orders, The Sons of Ham, Prince Hall Freemasonry-these
and other African American lodges created a social safety net for
members across Tennessee. During their heyday between 1865 and
1930, these groups provided members numerous perks, such as sick
benefits and assurance of a proper burial, opportunities for
socialization and leadership, and an opportunity to work with local
churches and schools to create better communities. Many of these
groups gradually faded from existence, but left an enduring legacy
in the form of the cemeteries these lodges left behind. These Black
cemeteries dot the Tennessee landscape, but few know their history
or the societies of care they represent. To Care for the Sick and
Bury the Dead is the first book-length look at these cemeteries and
the lodges that fostered them. This book is a must-have for
genealogists, historians, and family members of the people buried
in these cemeteries.
