Discover our advocacy, education, and restoration efforts.
The Macedonia Museum Gazebo – A Living Tribute
• **The Vision:** A permanent outdoor structure at Macedonia African American Cemetery honoring the lives and legacies of those buried on these sacred grounds.
• **The Experience:** Visitors can sit within a *living museum*, surrounded by pews engraved with ancestor and donor names—each seat a story of endurance and faith.
• **The Connection:** QR codes unlock a digital archive of oral histories, genealogical records, and timelines—bridging descendants, students, and the public to their shared heritage.
• **The Mission:** To continue the work of *reverse genealogy*—linking living descendants to their ancestors and preserving African American history through education and storytelling.
**The next step:
** Locating the remaining burials through **Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR)** to ensure every soul is remembered and recorded. Yet, progress has been hindered by the **City of Johns Creek’s broken promises**, delaying the full realization of this sacred vision and the honoring of those interred.
