Today I called for the removal of the billboard that stands on the Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground. It’s time we allow these souls to rest in peace without profiting on the land they inhabit.

Richmond's two African Burial Grounds: Shockoe Bottom African Burial Ground (1554 E Broad St.) and Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground (1305 N 5th St.). The drive from one to the other is 1.5 miles.
