Historic Black cemeteries in Tampa were erased more than half a century ago with the help of the city government.
Tampa levied neighborhood improvement fees on Zion and College Hill cemeteries, took the lands when the owners could not pay, canceled those same fees when white developers owned the cemeteries, and then looked the other way when those burial grounds were erased.
But, while those facts were only recently discovered through Tampa Bay Times research, civil rights leaders and historians were not shocked by the revelation.
