Dr. Jordan Lynton-Cox had the honor of meeting Jody Bogoslavski, the Director of Communications for the Senate Chaplin and the great-grand daughter of Martin and Rachel Spraggins who may be buried in the cemetery. Meeting with descendants is important in answering these questions

In Brush Arbor Cemetery in MS, tombstones and unmarked graves date back to the 1800s! Dr. Cox has organized a group of researchers to preserve and teach about the lives of those buried in this Black cemetery — his work is essential to protect this history! brnw.ch/21wBVr6
