Laurel Cemetery - Remembering Laurel Cemetery (1852-1957) was Baltimore’s first non-sectarian cemetery for African Americans. A ‘safe’ estimate is that at least 5,000 burials occurred at this site during the years of its formal incorporation. However, more burials were likely as, before its incorporation, the site was used as a burial site for free and enslaved servants.
