The record — long form
Red Hill is the last — the 'final home' that's the orator's rest, the 'grave kept' that's the burial's place. The 'law office' is the survived — the 'intact' that's the practice kept, the 'fire '19' that's the house rebuilt. The 'Quarter Place' is the path — the 'enslaved buried' that's the cemetery separate, the 'three generations' that's the unnamed kept.
The '961 acres' is the saved — the '1945' that's the foundation's buy, the 'Lucy Harrison' that's the last Henry. The 'liberty or death' is the said — the 'orator's voice' that's the Revolution's sound, the 'modest house' that's the ending chose. Red Hill is the honest — the 'intertwined stories' that's the all told, the '10,000 years' that's the land's depth.
The file keeps Red Hill: the orator's rest, the law office kept, the Quarter's graves, and the saved acres.
