Abstract
This is a very preliminary effort to explore the stories of those buried at Randolph Cemetery and understand what they can tell us about the cemetery and African American life in Columbia during the late nineteenth century through the Depression. It also seeks to give a face to those buried at Randolph, reminding us that they were real people, with real lives; sometimes tragic, sometimes noble, but also possessing great dignity as they lived and struggled – just as we do today.
