When he died in 1880, Archer Alexander was buried at St. Peter’s U.C.C. Cemetery (2101 Lucas and Hunt Road) in St. Louis, Missouri in an unmarked grave among hundreds of others in a Common Lot Section. In 2024, Archer Alexander’s burial location was added to the National Park Service National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom, after St. Peter’s U.C.C. Cemetery donated a location for a memorial to this national hero.
Since then, the talented sculptor Abraham Mohler has been chosen to create this memorial, that is way past due. After many discussions, the Archer Alexander Memorial will depict this man who not only resisted enslavement but was a leader among his people who followed him. Future generations will come to know the story of this real hero. His life is truly worthy, and we are asking today, for your help in seeing this memorial become a reality.
Please DONATE NOW and be part of history!
