Cemetery Preservation

To Maintain and Develop the Place Where Ota’s Remains Will Be Memorialized Forever

Maintenance and development of the 21-acre site of the White Rock Cemetery where Ota Benga shares a grave site with his benefactor, Professor Gregory Willis Hayes.

Ongoing activities include repairing headstones, defining boundaries, upgrading the entrance, and developing the Laura Munson House as the Ota Benga Education Center and Museum.
