Keep Their Stories Alive
Echoes of the Past
Embark on a journey down memory lane with the Flat Rock Archive, Inc., just a stone’s throw away from the heart of Stonecrest, Georgia. Here, we safeguard more than just artifacts; we preserve the echoes of lives once lived. The crown jewel of our efforts is the Historic Flat Rock Cemetery, a hallowed ground that tells the untold stories of resilience and courage from a time when freedom was just a distant dream for many.
While the T.A. Bryant, Sr. House, an emblematic Georgian Cottage built in 1917, stands as a testament to our community’s rich heritage, it is the Flat Rock Cemetery that truly captures the essence of our mission. Each gravestone and unmarked resting place within its bounds holds a narrative of an individual who endured the trials of slavery. These are the unsung heroes whose tales of strength and perseverance form the backbone of our collective history.
Our dedication at Flat Rock Archive, Inc., extends beyond the preservation of a physical space. We strive to bring to light the stories of these souls, ensuring their voices are heard and remembered. Our collection of genealogical records, rare books, old newspaper articles, maps, church and school records, photographs, and tangible artifacts serves as a testament to the rich tapestry of African-American history in the rural South.
Now, we find ourselves at a crucial juncture. To continue honoring and sharing these invaluable narratives, we seek your support. Your contribution to the Flat Rock Archive Inc., goes beyond monetary value; it is an act of remembrance, a pledge to keep the legacy of those buried in the Flat Rock Cemetery alive for generations to come.
Join us in this noble endeavor. Help us protect and elevate the Flat Rock Archive Inc. Your generosity will allow future generations to walk through the Flat Rock Cemetery, not just as visitors to a historic site, but as individuals deeply connected to a past that has profoundly shaped our present and future. Together, we can ensure that these stories of hope, struggle, and triumph are never forgotten.
