The ADMBV Project is committed to open-access, collaborative, community-driven research. To that end, there will forthcoming publications and a collaborative exhibit at the Brazos Valley African American Museum. The project will continue to recover and document any surface artifacts and grave markers found in Canaan Cemetery. The final destination for the artifacts will be determined by the descendants.
The current plan is to expand the scope of this research to include more cemeteries in the Brazos Bottoms and collect oral histories from the those who lived there.
