After many months of discussions, phone calls, emails, visits to the cemetery, blog posts and discussions, the John Bissant grave marker was quietly placed last Monday in Carrollton Cemetery No. 1 in uptown New Orleans! And the latest product of the Negro League Baseball Grave Marker Project looks fantastic!

We’re going to organize a formal dedication ceremony for sometime this summer. Until then, enjoy these photos and check out a few of my previous posts on John Bissant here, here and here. Also, here’s a golden oldie about a previous grave marker effort some of us put together a bunch of years ago for Wesley Barrow in Gretna, La.
