Tests could help identify bodies in UNC cemetery
The Preservation Society of Chapel Hill and other town groups are starting a project to identify grave sites in the black section of the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery.
The research will include two different studies that can show where grave sites are in the black section of the cemetery, in hopes of later discovering the exact identities of people who are buried there.
Once the tests have been completed, it is possible that up to 100 black people who worked at the University in the 18th and 19th centuries can be identified.
