� The Forgotten Ones of Oakwood Cemetery �
Did you know? A ground-penetrating study revealed that more than 455 Black Americans are buried in the small “colored” section of Oakwood Cemetery in High Point, NC. For decades, their names and stories were nearly forgotten.
But we will not let their history fade.
Join us for a special walking tour led by historian Phyllis Bridges as we uncover the lives, legacies, and impact of these men and women who helped shape High Point.

This tour is more than history — it’s remembrance, it’s honor, and it’s a taste of what our upcoming African American Heritage Trail will offer.
Come walk with us. Learn their names. Hear their stories. Help us keep their legacy alive. �
