African American Cemetery. There is no sign indicating this cemetery. Cemetery is located in a wooded area behind Pope City Cemetery. Entrance is accessible from the parking lot of Pope City Church on Pope City Road in Harrison County.

Look for an unpaved dirt and grass road along the northern side of the church that will lead to this African American cemetery; the two cemeteries are separated by a chain link fence and have separate cemetery associations. The path is located along the side of the church cemetery and ends in the first clearing with headstones directly behind the first cemetery.

There is another trail through the wooded area from the first clearing along the first cemetery that has a few clearly marked burials to another separate clearing with more burials. There are even more burials located along either side of that path in the wooded areas, some very deep into heavy brush.

Very little maintenance appears to be done here as of December 2014 except in the areas clearly mowed, but there are more burials to be found in the woods for the more adventurous genealogist.
