Our Board of Directors
Deeaudrey Wooten
PresidentÂ
I carry my mother's laugh and my grandfather's porch. I fight so no family watches water swallow sacred ground. Together, we're restoring Mount Zion—the land and the community. We're not alone in this. That makes all the difference.Â
​
Every week the water sits, the damage deepens. Headstones sink. Graves erode. We've secured the Foundation, the engineers, and the plan. Now we need the funds to finish the job. This isn't a someday problem. It's now. Join us in saving history!
Nancy Schultz Schiller
Vice President
My husband Steven rests here. Flooding kept me from his grave. I fight so no other family faces that. So the ground where we lay our loved ones stays sacred. With prayer and this community, we'll make it whole again. Help us.Â
Â
Restoration means bringing Mount Zion back to its best—and repairing ties with every family who felt forgotten. It means creating a place that's respected, valued, and alive again. That's the future we're building. Help us get there.
Paula Richards
Secretary
I carry the Robinsons, Theresa Smythe Collins, and every name I haven't learned yet. I fight because they mattered. Because no one should be forgotten. Because we cared enough to act.
​
What happened at Mount Zion can happen anywhere. When it rains, it floods. We have the knowledge and the tools to prevent it—we just need the money to do it. Don't wait for the next storm. Act now.
