Historical Fiction and Nonfiction Come to Life

A couple of weeks ago I posted about the book, Before We Were Yours, which tells the story of children who were stolen from their families and sold to wealthy families. This atrocity occurred in Memphis, TN for nearly 3 decades (1920s-1050s).  I happened to be in Memphis and decided to drive through the Elmwood Cemetery, which is not the oldest active cemetery in Memphis, but also the home of a memorial for the children who died in the hands of the Tennessee Children's Home Society.  Unfortunately I was not able to find the memorial as the cemetery is quite large and the office had already closed for the day, but pictured above is the entrance to the cemetery.  
In 2015, $13,000 was raised to erect a monument to honor those children.  The monument reads:  
"In memory of the 19 children who finally rest here unmarked if not unknown, and of all the hundreds who died under the cold, hard hand of the Tennessee Children's Home Society. Their final resting place unknown. Their final peace a blessing. The hard lesson of their fate changed adoption procedure and law nationwide."
