House passes African American cemetery task force bill Florida Avenue, directly across from E. Kentucky Avenue, where Zion Cemetery was located in Tampa. Image via AP. Florida has a history of building on top of African American cemeteries. The House passed a bill years in the making to establish a task force to preserve Florida’s African American cemeteries. The bill, sponsored by Tampa Rep. Fentrice Driskell, passed the House 117-0. Attempts in past Sessions to pass similar legislation were not successful. Driskell spoke on the floor while surrounded by members of the Florida Legislative Black Caucus. “This truly is a bill that transcends party because we’re talking about history,” Driskell said.
