Washington recently discovered his family’s graves in a cemetery dating as far back as the 1800s. Prince William County officials listened to him speak about it outside the government center.
Washington and community groups want Prince William County to preserve and protect cemeteries, including ones where Native Americans are buried, along with historic sites.
The county’s board of supervisors will vote on funding a plan to look for more historic graves on June 15.
“What we’re doing is working with the land owners in that area now to hold off on any additional development until we can find those additional graves and until we can come up with a viable plan to actually preserve the history in that area,” Margaret Franklin, a county board member from the Woodbridge District, said.

Almost half of the first candidates to take their CFA Institute Level I examination under the new computer-based testing passed.
Of 28,651 Level I candidates sitting the examination in February, 44% passed. Candidates sat for the examination at 850 test centers in 400 cities in 91 countries, a news release said.
The computer-based testing proved to be more resistant to COVID-19-related cancellations due to an increased number of testing days and smaller centers, the CFA said. About 700 candidates experienced cancellations due to COVID-19 restrictions, with options to reschedule in the coming months. Candidates were also offered the option of deferring to a future testing date if they felt uncomfortable due to the pandemic.
