Incorporated in 1875, the more than-eight-acre Olivewood Cemetery, nestled against the banks of White Oak Bayou, is a historic resting place for many freed slaves and some of Houston’s earliest Black residents. Last year, it was recognized as one of the most endangered historic places in our country.
Many of the group’s members are descendants of the people who are buried in the cemetery. As development continued to close in on Olivewood, those fighting to preserve it said they had hoped developers would have had a complete archeological survey done of the land before moving forward with plans to build a parking lot right next to the burial site. They said it’s part of a five-story sports complex.
They also said more concrete is the last thing the area surrounding the cemetery needs, fearing that it would jeopardize the integrity of this historic burial site by making it even more prone to flooding and erosion.
