Fort Ward's Lost Graves: Who speaks for the dead?
Adrienne Terrell Washington
“We think that the honoring of the graves is the most important thing that should be honored, protected and preserved. One is not more important than the other”.
“Our desire is to honor all of the lost graves. All the areas of the park need to be included--not just restricting the [African American] presence to the east-side of the park. People lived throughout the park. This needs to be historically correct”.
Remarks by Adrienne Washington at the Fort Ward Park and Museum Advisory Group Meeting on January 9, 2013
