 The Birmingham Zoo wants to build a new cat exhibit. First it must deal with unmarked graves

Building a new exhibit in a zoo often poses unexpected challenges.  Here's one that the Birmingham Zoo has come across.  This isn't the first time I've heard of a zoo having this challenge - Nashville Zoo had a similar issue with a slave burial ground uncovered on grounds years ago.  The goal is to find a way to move forward while treating all remains uncovered with sensitivity and respect.  It does make me wonder, however, how many construction projects - zoo and otherwise - take place that cover human graves that we never even have an inkling are there.
