In a groundbreaking discovery on June 13, 2023, a coalition of historians, Edisto Island residents, and direct descendants unearthed an 18th- and 19th-century African American cemetery at Botany Bay Plantation. This remarkable find not only preserves the resting place of Black ancestors but also reveals an enthralling and long-concealed chapter of American history, that will leave the world captivated and astonished.
