TAMPA, Fla. — Anna Rebecca Wyche was a freed enslaved woman, mother, cook and businesswoman.
She was also among those buried in Tampa’s Zion Cemetery, the segregation-era Black burial ground that was erased and then built on.
“I must humanize her,” said Jeraldine Williams, Wyche’s great-great-granddaughter. “She has to be more than a box of bones that was discarded.”
