Pastor Robert Robertson from Bethel Baptist Church will speak to the
Neartown Assocation about College Park Cemetery, and will show us the
plan for the restoration of the historic cemetary, which is curently
underway at 3500 West Dallas.
The cemetery is the final resting place of the Reverend Jack Yates.
Yates, a former slave, taught the virtues of land ownership among the
newly emancipated, worked as a drayman, was an ordained minister and
founded Antioch Missionary Baptist Church and Bethel Baptist Church.
We will be looking at the cemetery restoration in the contest of the
larger greenspace plan for Neartown.
