TAMPA, Fla The Hillsborough County school district on Monday unveiled new renderings for a memorial to honor those buried in an erased segregation-era African American cemetery at King High School.
The memorial is being designed in partnership with Jerel McCants Architecture Inc, a local design firm in Tampa. The memorial takes inspiration from the image from the Christian hymn, “I’ll Fly Away,” and poetry from Nikki Giovanni. It also incorporates elements that symbolize a dove, which represents peace and the transition of life.
