This cemetery is located behind the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff stadium. It is in two parts. This was once known as the Wright Cemetery. It was later discovered that 37 individuals were moved to the Oliver Cemetery in 1998 to make way for the UAPB Golden Lions Stadium. These graves held the remains of children and adults that died in the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Since these graves remained unmarked, the SCV decided to place a monument and four corner markers to mark their location. The cemetery was named for a black woman who acquired the Wright's farm after the Civil War.
