North Woodlawn Cemetery, an African-American cemetery located east of Interstate 95 near Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 29 November 2017.[1][3][4] Founded in the 1920s, lynch victim Reuben Stacey was buried there in 1935.[5][6] An area that may have been unmarked graves was built over in the construction of Interstate 95 in the 1970s.[7][8] Another section of unmarked graves of infants may have been paved over in 1995.[9] Burials no longer take place there. Maintained by the City of Fort Lauderdale, it was restored in 2002.[9][10]
