Not forgotten<\/h3>\n

The West Baton Rouge Museum, 845 N. Jefferson Ave., Port Allen, will open the exhibit, “Gone But Not Forgotten: Black Cemeteries of West Baton Rouge” on Jan. 10.<\/p>\n

The exhibit examines the historic lost burial grounds of enslaved Black people across the parish, as well as those cemeteries that are in danger of becoming lost to Mother Nature or land development. Many of these were started by Black churches or Benevolent Societies in the latter part of the 19th century.<\/p>\n
