St. Johns Settlement Oct 1, 2009
Behind a 100+ tons of recently dumped broken concrete is a sensitive African-American slave and decendent cemetery along with a civil war CSA placement from the original Johnston River Line. This is also a Vinings property, to which, after displacing the community for mega $$$ development (not going to happen), the “benevolent” offer was made to sell it to the county for a park.
In the mean time, either themselves, or allowing somebody else to dump tons of concrete totally blocking any family access to visit their cemetery ad infinitum. And yes, the piles are higher and more obstructional way back in there.
In my opinion, this is another prime example of egregious disregard and insensitivity of historical place and race, which amounts to convenient eithnic defilement.
Pisses me off…..
