Session Overview

Jim-Ree Museum manages an endangered African American Cemetery in Georgia.

Problem
The situation has become urgent, as African American cemeteries face desecration and destruction nationwide. Pinetown Cemetery has been no exception.

Needs
- News media strategy consult to increase awareness and interest in our story beyond our small local town in rural GA.

- Suggestions or facilitation to get local editorial picked up by other news media. "Save Pinetown Cemetery Call for Respect and Preservation" by April Hamm in Elberton Star on 4/26/23 (print and scanned e-edition only, metadata inaccessible in search)

Nice to Haves
- Specific suggestions for reaching people who actually care about saving cemeteries.

Goal
Our hope is that a national spotlight will encourage local decision-makers to follow state law, which favors keeping burials in place.

Objective
Secure at least 1 national or international media coverage within 1-3 weeks.
