Graves of enslaved people in SC's oldest cemetery were unmarked for years. No more
South Carolina’s oldest municipal cemetery has long had a section where it was suspected people were buried, but no one knew for sure where the graves were. It’s Section V of Springwood Cemetery , located in downtown Greenville, that was used as a potter’s field for African Americans, some believed to have been enslaved, and indigent whites. Researchers believe there are some 2,000 unmarked graves. A project spearheaded by the Upstate Cemetery Preservation Alliance of South Carolina recently found 572 of them. Founding member of the organization Debbie Weeks contributed $3,000 to pay for ground penetrating radar to study the area. Omega Mapping of Forston, Georgia, which also does underground utilities, marked the graves they found with flags.

Denied SC grant for work concerned with ICE impact on community, Latina artist finds other support
COLUMBIA — An artist whose work was rejected by the S.C. Arts Commission for perceived political ideology is getting support from another source. On Oct. 15, after calling Greenville’s Shakira Olivera-Bautista’s artworks “political” and “scary,” commission board members voted to deny the Latina artist $1,800 in grant funds intended for emerging artists. The board’s decision drew fire from arts advocates and organizations, who had already accused the commission of exhibiting prejudice in denying funding to two LGBTQ arts organizations on Oct. 1. One week later, Palmetto Luna Arts, a nonprofit i...
