dc.description.abstractI explore how the commemoration of both black and white burial sites changed over time at George Washington'sMount Vernon and Thomas Jefferson'sMonticello, first during the various iterations of these plantations? uses as working farms, and then as historic sites. Tracing how these sacred grounds have been commemorated reveals the changing power relationships of the races at the historic sites over time. The two current owners of Mount Vernon and Monticello have buried twentieth century black history on top of eighteenth and nineteenth century black history. I attempt to unearth a new story of commemoration, black activism and historic preservation at Mount Vernon and Monticello.
