Over 500 Black souls lie beneath a parking lot in Bethesda, MD — land taken from the Moses African Cemetery. Dr. Marsha Adebayo (@nofearcoalition) and the Macedonia Baptist Church are fighting to reclaim it. Black lives must matter in life and in death.

This is on the eve of BACC discovering that the developers got rid of the bones they removed from Moses Cemetery. Ben Crump is building pressure on Montgomery County.

Please join us for an urgent action at Moses African Cemetery tomorrow at 4:00 PM. A previously undisturbed portion of our ancestor’s gravesite is now being drilled by developers. Our community is concerned that more funerary objects & human remains may be destroyed.
