The letter I wrote to the Mayor, City Manager, and City Council Members in the wake of last week’s “false” alarm (as to bones, not erosion) at Vick Cemetery:

I first raised question about Vick more than five years ago. While some progress has been made with its general maintenance, for two years the City has completely ignored the myriad issues that remain. I urge everyone who cares about Vick Cemetery to contact city leaders directly to express their concerns. Carping on Facebook feels good, but doesn’t reach the right eyes or ears.

If you are new to this issue, please reach out to me at blackwideawake@gmail.com, and I’d be happy to answer any questions you have. Thank you.
