20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Memorial Day at the Pleasant Ridge Church and Cemetery
Visiting cemeteries on Memorial Day to tend to our ancestors' graves used to be a major part of the American Experience. Sadly, I find fewer people each year who place importance on this annual opportunity to remember those who came before us. The Pleasant Ridge Church and Cemetery pictured are typical of the thousands of close-knit church communities across rural America.
