    Hurricane of 1928 Mass Burial Site

    This is the burial site of the unidentified African Americans who perished during the hurricane of…read more1928 in West Palm Beach. In 1913 Palm Beach set aside land for three pauper cemeteries of which this was one. In 1928 the category 4 Okeechobee hurricane killed 2,500 people, the majority were people of color who were migrant farm workers around the lake. The hurricane caused the five foot dike around Lake Okeechobee break flood causing many people to drown. A thousand white people who died were given a mass burial at Woodlawn cemetery while the African Americans were either burned or placed into mass graves. This site was one of the places to receive a mass burial. It is thought 674 bodies lie here. Time went on and the burial was largely forgotten since no memorial was ever placed to mark it. In 1950 road work on 25th street unearthed some bodies but there was still no urgency to do anything about it. The land changed hands several times until it was purchased by Bernard Kolkana who wanted to build a warehouse on the property. No one knew about the bodies until the Sankofa Society with a Yoruba leader did a blessing on the property. The idea to do something to honor the hurricane victims gained traction when Robert Hazard established non-profit organization to try to acquire the land in order to put up a memorial and possibly some sort of museum. In 2000 a Miami company was hired to do ground penetrating radar to determine where the bodies were. They discovered that they were in two layers in a 70 by 30 foot trench. The city decided to use eminent domain to take the land back from Kolkana who refused to sell it to them. At first they were only going to give him the $1,000 assessed value but then they eventually decided to pay him $180,000. Finally a memorial was constructed. On September 12, 2002 the burial site was designated a US National Registered Historic Place. On the 75th anniversary of the hurricane in 2003 the city added a historical marker. The hurricane was dramatized in Nora Neale Hurston's most famous work Their Eyes Were Watching God. On my visit the memorial was very peaceful and deserted except for two gentleman who were sitting on lawn chairs by the arbor. The grave is enclosed by a fence and it has stone markers bearing the date 1928. Even though the hurricane was the second deadliest hurricane in the United States behind Galveston Texas it has largely been forgotten as has it's victims. The pioneers who built Florida deserve to be remembered and the city taking control of the memorial is a step in the right direction.

    I completed a tour last week and was absolutely blown away. From the moment I walked in, I felt as…read morethough I were touring a Ritz-Carlton hotel. The entire community looked new, elegant, and exceptionally well-maintained. Every staff member either greeted us warmly or worked quietly and efficiently in the background. Around every corner, there seemed to be another impressive amenity. The residents were also extremely friendly. During lunch, we watched a group of four finish their meal, and one resident moved over to join another table of three simply to continue enjoying the fellowship. That small moment said a great deal about the warmth and sense of community. The location is excellent, surrounded by small retail shops, veterinarians, dry cleaners, pizza restaurants, and many other convenient businesses. The community also offers underground parking, a secure bicycle-storage area, and valet parking. This is an amazing place and absolutely worthy of a tour.

The apartments are beautiful, and the food is incredible--especially the soups, which are always a standout. The staff and residents are so friendly, and I've made some truly great connections within the community. I especially enjoy the outings, activities, and events. Each event is filled with laughter, fun, cocktails, and delicious chef-prepared appetizers. Honestly, what more could you ask for? And best of all--I don't have to cook anymore!
