Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:24:46 GMT

The groups working to preserve a historic Black cemetery in Bethesda are going to continue their legal fight, and plan to take it to Maryland’s highest court.The move comes after a decision by Maryland’s appellate court that found the Montgomery County Housing Opportunities Commission can sell the parcel where the remains of hundreds of enslaved people are buried, despite the objections of the groups trying to preserve the property.“If this ruling is upheld on appeal, no traditional African American cemetery, no traditional Native American cemetery will be safe,” said Steven Lieberman, a lawyer who represents the Bethesda African Cemetery Coalition, Dr. Segun Adebayo, pastor of the Macedonian Baptist Church, and three descendants of people buried in the Moses Macedonia African Cemetery.Lieberman told WTOP that a previous ruling that stopped the sale of the property was correct. Lieberman explained that Maryland law requires that when a landowner wants to sell land that includes buri...
