The Great Privation (how to flip ten cents into a dollar)



From Grave Guardians to Camp Counselors: Bridging Generations at Philadelphia’s African Baptist Church

Daily, Sep 11, 2025 - Oct 12, 2025. Times Vary

Philadelphia’s African Baptist Church, 1832: a mother and daughter guard the grave of their husband and father to deter resurrectionists from pillaging it for science.  


Today, on the same grounds: another mother and daughter work as counselors at what is now a summer camp. Timelines collide, reminding us to find joy in our present even as we exhume our nation’s buried past.
