HISTORICAL SOUTH-VIEW CEMETERY

The oldest African American non-profit corporation in the United States.

South-View Cemetery, located in Atlanta, Georgia, was chartered on April 21, 1886 by six African American men — Jacob McKinley, George W. Graham, Robert Grant, Charles H. Morgan, Albert Watts, and John Render. South-View Cemetery holds the distinction of being the oldest African-American non-profit corporation in the United States. It serves as the final resting place for over 80,000 African Americans, including individuals who have made significant contributions to American history, the struggle for freedom, and the pursuit of peace.
