One thought on “Editorial: Historic Black cemetery site deserves memorializing

  1. A full scale archeological excavation of the site should be done before construction of the bridge. If it’s determined this it’s true, remains should be interred elsewhere. Painful as the history may be it should be acknowledged that Blacks lived, thrived and died in this area. Marking this area once the bridge is completed is the right thing to do.
