Abandoned cemetery task force bill clears Governor s desk

The 10-member task force established by the bill would be led by the Secretary of State, who would also appoint representatives from the Bureau of Archaeological Research in the Division of Historical Resources, the NAACP, the Florida Council of Churches, the Florida African American Heritage Preservation Network, the Florida Public Archaeology Network, the cemetery industry and a local government. The Senate President and House Speaker would select one lawmaker each to round out the task force. The task force’s findings and recommendations would be reported to the Governor, Senate President, House Speaker and Minority Leaders in both chambers. Abandoned and neglected burial grounds are not an emerging issue in Florida. A burial ground task force mobilized by the Legislature in 1998 reported that 40% to 50% of the state’s cemeteries are neglected or abandoned, according to a staff analysis.

FDOT investigating erased veteran and Black cemeteries under I-175 ahead of possible project Documents show St. Petersburg condemned Evergreen and Moffett cemeteries in 1926, and crews constructing the interstate later found human remains in 1976. Author: Emerald Morrow Updated: 12:01 AM EDT May 27, 2021 SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla. A spokesperson with the Florida Department of Transportation, District 7, said on Wednesday it is working with Pinellas County on a possible conduit project within the boundaries of two historic cemeteries under I-175 in St. Petersburg. Documents show the city condemned Evergreen and Moffett cemeteries in 1926, and crews constructing the interstate later found human remains in 1976. A state historical cemetery form says Moffett was established in 1888 as a cemetery for Civil War veterans and had both Black and white burials. Evergreen came later as an all-Black cemetery in 1900.
