The publication documented 107 historic properties and 14 historic communities of significance to Prince George’s County African-American history and heritage including residences, schools and lodge halls, churches and cemeteries, and urban and rural communities.The interviews are filled with rich detail about day-to-day life in Prince George’s County and will assist in the efforts of many groups to document and perpetuate the county’s African-American heritage for future generations.
