Harvard Club of Washington, DC

The Mt. Zion Historical Memorial Park provides an opportunity to rediscover two centuries of lost African American history in Georgetown and to develop a historic memorial park as a sacred space for quiet reflection, the respectful commemoration of the past, and to EDUCATE.

These cemeteries serve to preserve and create awareness of the heritage, contributions, and sacrifices these founders of Georgetown made during their lifetimes, and provide insight to their families and the community in which they lived during a time of deep segregation. Join us for an outdoor preservation project. Activities include landscaping projects, imaging and documentation of historical data, and a walking tour of the park.

Please consider reading the useful history and visitor information available on the  Cemeteries' website (blackgeorgetown.com) before our day of service.

Volunteers must adhere to COVID-19 Safety Guidelines. Masks are required.

For questions, please contact Casandra Woodall at communityservice@harvard-dc.org. Space is limited, so sign up soon!
