Our ancestors were violated. Our history was attacked.
Our ancestors were violated. Our history was attacked.
Bruton Town is a historic African American cemetery established on land first purchased in 1818 by Domingo Ladson, a formerly enslaved man whose courage helped build one of Greenville’s earliest Black communities.
Beneath this soil lie generations of our people — mothers, fathers, elders, veterans, and loved ones whose names carry our family stories and legacy.
In August 2025, this sacred place was devastated. Headstones were damaged and destroyed, graves were disturbed, and irreplaceable history was treated without dignity or care. Our ancestors were utterly disrespected.
We — the descendants — are united in our commitment to uncover the truth, restore dignity to those harmed, and pursue accountability at every level.
Move the Money initiative
Move the Money initiative
Reclaiming our economic power. Redirecting resources back into our communities.
Reclaiming our economic power. Redirecting resources back into our communities.
For generations, Black households have poured billions into systems that give little back. Move the Money is ATC's call to shift how we spend, invest, and build — so our dollars strengthen our families, honor our history, and create lasting generational impact.
This isn't about sacrifice. It's about using the power we already have.
Every dollar we move becomes a tool for empowerment, accountability, and legacy.
🛒 Spend with Intention
Where we spend shapes our community.
Every dollar strengthens something — a business, a system, or a value.
For generations, Black dollars have fueled institutions that do not reinvest in us.
Spending with intention means directing our money to those who honor our lives, our history, and our future.
⚖️ Invest in Accountability
Our dollars should reflect our values.
Too often, we fund institutions that stay silent when our communities are harmed — including the desecration of Bruton Town.
By shifting where we spend, we send a clear message: we will not support silence, neglect, or disrespect.
We invest in integrity and truth.
✊🏾 Building Generational Strength
Circulating dollars builds long-term community power.
When we redirect money into our own businesses and families, we create jobs, stability, and ownership. Every intentional dollar becomes a seed — growing generational strength and protecting our legacy.
