Lane Street Project: what is the City doing in Rountree Cemetery??

Meanwhile, on the other side of the street …

Here’s an aerial from Wilson County GIS Website. The clearcutting was done in the top third of Rountree Cemetery, outlined in blue.

Here’s a link to video showing the late winter daffodils in this part of Rountree cemetery.

And here’s a link to a post I wrote two years ago about graves on that side of the street.

Maybe there’s a nefarious plot. Maybe it’s simple maintenance. We don’t know. What we do know is that the City (or its contractor) is once again rolling roughshod over an African-American cemetery.
