Description
City of Tampa Mayor Jane Castory spoke about how a historic Black cemetery in the area was sold to a property investor in an online auction.
A property investor purchased the cemetery for $18,000 in an auction that lasted less than four minutes.
When word spread that the city of Tampa foreclosed on a historic Black cemetery and sent it to auction where a property developer purchased the 20-acre site for $18,000, there was outrage throughout the community.
