AP Photo/Steve Helber-A historical marker is embedded in the walkway near the Lumpkin Jail historical site at the Slave Burial Ground Monday, March 31, 2014. A proposal to build a minor league baseball stadium in Shockoe Bottom, the citys oldest neighborhood and the center of the once-thriving slave trade, has drawn criticism from some who believe the area is sacred ground and shouldnt be bulldozed for a ballpark. The city says it will recover and display artifacts related to the slave trade. Photo/Steve Helber
