The discovery of more than 300 graves from an erased Black cemetery property on the FrankCrum staffing firm along Missouri Avenue has prompted a lawsuit from the company against the city of Clearwater for the removal of the remains. The lawsuit, filed in the Pinellas County Circuit Court on Sept. 29, says it seeks to "recover damages for the local government’s failure to take accountability for mishandling a historic African-American cemetery." In 2019, long-time residents of Clearwater's Black community came forward to the NAACP with memories of the St. Matthews Baptist Church cemetery and concerns that graves might still be on-site at FrankCrum, which sits atop where the cemetery was once located.
