Are Lynched Slaves Still Buried Under Parker County Courthouse Lawn?

This may be one of the biggest stories around the ongoing conflict with the Confederate statue in Weatherford. There were once four lynched slaves buried there and no record of the bodies ever being removed. Even more shocking, the Parker County Historical Commission may have been aware of it and took steps to cover it up.
