Nearly a hundred years ago, a cemetery in Florida quietly disappeared from public awareness. It had served the African American community, but as the city grew, its location was forgotten and eventually lost to development. A local newspaper began investigating, uncovering old records that suggested a public housing complex may have been built over the burial site.

The find prompted calls for recognition and respect. Residents and historians pushed for memorials and preservation, highlighting how easily marginalized histories can be erased and how vital it is to recover and honor them.
