King George, Sep 15 (EFE/EPA).- A group of headstones of African Americans who once marked graves at Columbian Harmony Cemetery, a historic African-American cemetery in Washington D.C., are waiting to be returned to Maryland from the state of Virginia. When an entrepreneur purchased the Columbian Harmony property in 1960, most of the 37,000 buried remains were moved to Maryland. But many of the tombstones were sold to a farmer in rural Virginia, who used them as a breakwater to control erosion in the Potomac River. In 2016, Virginia State Senator Richard Stuart discovered the tombstones while walking through his newly purchased riverfront property. Stuart worked with the governor's office and local historians to link them to the Washington Cemetery D.C., and move them to the memorial garden in Maryland.(Camera: JIM LOSCALZO) SHOT LIST: THE TOMBSTONES BEFORE BEING TRANSPORTED TO MARYLAND.
