Oakland-Fraternal Cemetery
The Oakland-Fraternal Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Barber Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It actually consists of six originally separate cemeteries, and lies adjacent to the Little Rock National Cemetery, of which it was once a part. Portions of the cemetery are dedicated to Confederate war dead, and its grounds include two separate Jewish cemeteries, and the Fraternal Cemetery, a burying ground for African Americans. The cemetery, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010, continues in active use.[1][2]
