This cemetery is unique, created by black richmonders in the late 1800s who were segregated from white cemeteries. There’s a lot of history there, and a lot of people in this community have worked hard to uncover it, as the city has left it neglected. It would be a slap in the face to this community to pave it over for an apartment complex
