RICHMOND, Va. (AP) Lenora McQueen came to Richmond four years ago to learn more about her fourth great-grandmother. That’s when she found out where she was buried in the city.
She knew freed and enslaved Black cemeteries aren’t usually well-maintained, but she expected to find some evidence of its past; perhaps a few headstones or grave shaft depressions in the ground.

A senior apartment community in one of Richmond’s more imposing 19th-century structures is set to get a multimillion-dollar upgrade.
Shockoe Hill Apartments, a subsidized housing complex for low-income seniors in the 1860s-era Almshouse on Hospital Street, is slated for $15 million worth of renovations following a recent City Council approval allowing the issuance of tax-exempt bonds to fund the project.
The multifamily housing revenue bonds, to be issued by the Richmond Redevelopment & Housing Authority, will fund renovations to the complex’s 125 apartments and a conversion of one of the buildings into a community center and leasing office.
