Ceremony unveils marker for unmarked graves in Old Chapel Hill Cemetery


A marker was unveiled on Sunday in remembrance of 361 unmarked African-American graves at the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery. On Feb. 29, a marker that was erected to pay respect to the unmarked graves was uprooted after community backlash over the lack of a proper dedication ceremony. (Daily Tar Heel)
