It is the final resting place of Frederick and Anna Douglass's family, Austin Steward's children, Rev. Thomas James, and others of the early 1800s into the 1900s.
Local Author Rose O'Keefe used information from "Beyond These Gates: Mountains of Hope in Rochester's African-American History" by Marilyn Nolte and Verdis Robinson (2018) and her own research to share a fresh look at Black Neighbors in Mount Hope Cemetery.
