    Product Description

    Cemeteries hold a special significance in the African American culture because they provide an important and e;usive link in tracing African heritage - a practice made even more difficult by the institution on slavery. Borrowing its name from a traditional spiritual, Lay Down Body provides a glimpse into some of the oldest and most fundamental values of Afrivan American culture, many of which are preserved only in cemeteries.
