This is an important, substantial, well-researched and frankly, likely controversial work by my friend, Kara Kavensky. Published today in the Indianapolis Recorder Newspaper, "Leaders and legacies: The rich history of those buried at Greenlawn Cemetery" tells a more complete version of something you've probably not heard about or heard only parts of. While I am a big fan of economic development, I am also a big fan of historic preservation, having been a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Indiana Landmarks for over two decades. Right now there is a project underway to build a new bridge, new buildings, and a new stadium for the Indy Eleven Professional Soccer team which promises to be yet another great gem on the Indianapolis skyline. But at the current course and speed, it will be at the expense of something else of great importance - quite literally the paving over (again) of the city's original and most historic cemetery that was once filled with civic leaders and former slaves alike. It's been said that death is the great equalizer, but not here: many of the remains were moved later, but not all of them, and surely not those of the most disadvantaged. The RIGHT way to do this is to simply add some more money to the bond issuance to properly excavate and archeologically document and move the rest of the remains. Yes it will make the project more expensive for the city (and all of us by translation who pay for government here), but I find the alternative the ultimate in disrespect to those who built Indianapolis before us.

🌿 Important Announcement Regarding Altona Memorial Park 🌿 Dear LinkedIn Community, I wanted to take a moment to address recent events concerning the theft of memorial plaques at Altona Memorial Park, managed by The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust. While we acknowledge the immediate concern surrounding these incidents, it's essential to recognise the broader implications at play. The removal of memorials from a cemetery or any landscape is a multifaceted issue with profound implications for our cultural, social, environmental, and political landscapes. From a human geography perspective, this removal touches upon various critical aspects: 🏛 Cultural Impact: Memorials serve as poignant symbols, reflecting the beliefs and values of those they commemorate. Their removal can disrupt the continuity of cultural narratives and historical significance. 🤝 Social Dynamics: Cemeteries are sacred spaces for communal remembrance and reflection. Alterations to the landscape can significantly impact social interactions and ignite tensions among diverse groups. 🌍 Environmental Concerns: It's important to consider the environmental footprint associated with memorial production, including resource extraction and the potential for habitat destruction, resource depletion and modern slavery. 💪 Power and Representation: Decisions surrounding memorialisation are inherently linked to power dynamics, often raising questions of equitable representation and social justice. As professionals, there's an opportunity for us to engage in deeper reflection and dialogue on these complex issues. Let's come together to explore themes of grief, loss, and memorialisation, while considering the diverse perspectives and stakeholders involved. Your understanding and support are deeply appreciated as we navigate these challenges together. #Memorialisation #CemeteryCulture #CulturalLandscape #SocialReflection #EnvironmentalAwareness #CommunityDialogue #GriefJourney #RememberingTogether #CemeteryManagement #HeritagePreservation Image Credit: Altona Park, The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust

At Pensacola Habitat, we know that safe, decent housing is the key to better health, education, financial opportunity and much more. The historical practice of redlining, which has been used to keep neighborhoods of color from attaining the same wealth and economic opportunities as White neighborhoods, goes against what we stand for. Consider how you can help us and other community organizations invest in building these underserved communities up and establishing fair and equitable opportunities for all.
