Dispute of Black burial grounds in Bethesda reaches Md. Supreme Court

A long-running dispute over a historic Black cemetery buried beneath a Bethesda parking lot went before the Maryland Supreme Court on Monday as justices dove into the technical nuance of whether state law could be used to halt the sale of property that includes the burial site. Approximately 95 people packed into the courtroom in Annapolis, most of them backing efforts to restore and properly memorialize the area.
