The Friends of Greenwood was dissolved in 2016 and the Greenwood Cemetery Preservation Association (GCPA) was formed. The cemetery now has a 501C(3) tax status and is GCPA, a non-profit organization. Also in 2016, Greenwood was listed on St. Louis County's Historic Landmarks. Our goal is to bring the Cemetery to its former glory. The cemetery has proved to be a valuable teaching tool for students in the St. Louis County public schools as well as college and university students from University of Missouri-St. Louis and William Woods University, which have used the site to teach anthropology, history, mathematics, and other disciplines. Greenwood offers enormous promise as an educational and tourist resource. The compelling oral record regarding Greenwood leaves no doubt of its historic, cultural and social importance to St. Louis, and particularly St. Louis African Americans as a source of great pride.
