Description

St. Petersburg City Council votes on funding archaeological digs in a parking lot, aiming to confirm graves from Oaklawn Cemetery, which served mostly white residents during segregation times. Ground-penetrating radar scans have spotted ten possible burial sites. If approved, Stantec Consulting Services will handle the digs, sift through soil, and catalog any remains or artifacts, sharing a full report within ninety days. Meanwhile, a huge redevelopment project around the stadium is greenlit, and lawmakers push for more overlooked Black graves under the same highway.
