- The Tampa Bay Times recently discovered Zion Cemetery, Tampa's first African-American Cemetery. Zion was sold and resold and partially developed during the land boom of the early 20th century, but it appears as if most of the bodies were not moved.
Thank you so much for taking the time to cover this. It means more than you’ll ever know.
Hey, do you know the family ?
Richard C. Dody is my Great Grandfather
The bodies are still there.it was never moved..sad that they did that
Exactly
Impressive and significant investigative reporting; you're now part of the Mt Zion legacy. Thank you.
No fucking respect! There are thousands of cemeteries rolled over & forgotten because people are sick and disgusting, taking the headstones & leaving the deceased. Alot of the cemetery's are all over like this & it's only coming out to light. But what can be done? There are buildings, homes & roads over the old cemeteries that we don't even know about! Anyone one of use could be living on a burial ground/cemetery!😭
They need to totally restore the cemetery tear down the buildings and put brand new headstones marking the graves. And the grave sites including the entire graveyard should be maintained by the city.
I believe it should not be removed ! Period
They just found the bodies. This is crazy. Someone need to be held accountable.
This happened a century ago. The people who did this are dead.
So it is still their final testing place
@@stacymirba1433 so what ?
@@user-io3dp4ir7c While, I'm sorry I have explain this very simple concept to you, you can't hold dead people accountable.
Id like too know how paranormal activity this area has! Pretty sure alot of strange events occur on this land. Disruption of a person's final resting place ,and this many people who's bodies lay beneath the area im sure all their souls are at unrest. So sad i dont know who could carry the burden of knowing they were greedy and disrespectful enough too build over top of a cemetery, i would say rest in peace but how could the people buried there ever rest 😢
MAN THEY KNEW THAT WAS THERE. JUST TRYING TO ACT LIKE THEY DIDNT KNOW. HOW MANY GRAVES HAVE THEY NOT DISCOVERED HERE IN TAMPA. IM BRON AND RAISED HERE IN YBOR AND I ALWAYS HAVE A FEELING THAT MY OLD HOOD AND THE HOUSE WAS HAUNTED SO MUCH CRAZY HAPPENS HERE I WOULDNT BE SURPRISED WHEN THEY FIND MORE GRAVES AND CEMETERIES
Do you live where this cemetery once was?I'm so sad about this just awful
Please have mercy on them !
