A hidden gem, Union Bethel Civil War Cemetery in Lower Township, unveils the forgotten stories of African American heroes who fought for freedom and equality. This documentary delves into the history of this sacred ground, shedding light on the lives of those who were marginalized and silenced.

Beneath the weathered headstones of Union Bethel Civil War Cemetery lies a rich tapestry of history, often overlooked and forgotten. This documentary takes viewers on a journey through time, exploring the lives of African American soldiers, families, and community members who called this cemetery their final resting place.

We'll uncover the stories of Civil War veterans who fought for the Union, the challenges faced by African Americans in the 19th century, and the enduring legacy of the Union Bethel community. Through firsthand accounts from descendants and historical research, we'll paint a vivid picture of a time long past.

This documentary will not only honor the memory of those buried at Union Bethel but also inspire future generations to appreciate and preserve our shared history.
