I guess her thoughts are that they wouldn't be moving it if white folks were buried there, but she's wrong. In fact, I'm fairly certain they moved several white cemeteries when building the airport originally.
The Delta Airlines maintenance hanger sits in what was once my granddaddy's corn field. He sold the entire farm to the Woodruff family for 300 dollars, and relocated the graves of a couple of his coon hounds that he had buried there. No ancestors there, as far as I know, although at least one ancestor is buried under the current Federal courthouse in downtown Atlanta, where the family lived when Atlanta was still Marthasville.
