As I read the article by Jenny Drabble, dated Aug. 3, 2018, my mind goes to the old Camp Ground Cemetery in Concord.
Celebration of Coleman, Logan and others planned
1 of 3
Free lectures and tours of Concord's Old Campground Cemetery are available this summer. Veterans and famous people of Concord are buried there, including: manufacturer Warren C. Coleman (left), who owned the nation's first African-American-owned and operated textile factory, and educator Rev. Frank Logan (right). The Logan Community and the former Logan High School were named for Rev. Logan. For more information and to make an appointment, call Norman J. McCullough, at 704-787-8242.

Warren C. Coleman left a tremendous mark on Concord, including the first African-American owned textile mill in the country. It is shown here before being restored. The building is being used for several businesses today and has been declared an historic landmark by the city of Concord.Â
