Lemon City Cemetery Community Corporation's mission is to educate the public to respect the historic significance of the Lemon City Cemetery and give it and other important and forgotten places of Black Heritage and Culture in the Miami-Dade County community recognition.
In April of 2009, the City of Miami’s Historic Preservation Office notified the County Archeologist of the finding of human bones on a construction site. It was purported that the sight was an unknown abandoned Black Cemetery. The City of Miami had given developers permission to build three affordable housing units on the cemetery. Following this development, the Lemon City Cemetery Community Corporation was organized to stop the development of the project, give respect to persons buried in the Lemon City Cemetery and to celebrate the forgotten history, heritage and culture of the Black community.
