This is based on the Commonwealth's Line of Duty Act and the 2005 passage of a joint resolution by the Virginia General Assembly that called on the Governor to form a commission and study the need for a memorial honoring first responders. Completed in 2014, the Virginia Public Safety Foundation handed over the deed of the property to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The space is 150 feet by 40 feet in front of the Patrick Henry Building.

It is opposite of the side that the Lumpkin Slave Jail is located. You can take an underpass to walk freely between the two sites. This was the first designated burial spot for the city's enslaved and free residents of African ancestry, dating back to as late as 1799. This one and a half acres was considered poor quality and had no other use but the cemetery. It was also the site of public hangings. Other names the site has been known as Potter's Field, were Burying-ground for Coloured persons, Grave Yard for Free People of Color" and Grave Yard for For Slaves You will find a memorial obelisk here with a plaque dedicating the cemetery. Their is also a spot with a couple of information placards that look likes a spot that people hold rituals and leave sacrifices/personal effects. The vast majority of the grounds is low cut green space. Additionally, there is a vacant and decrepit building there. I do not know what it was prior, but it looks historical. This is a nice place to visit. I would not consider it a long stop, so I would probably couple it with a visit to the old Lumpkin Slave Jail and other nearby attractions to maximize your time.

For that reason, it doesn't have the same impact of the straight lines of white markers. At least at first glance. If you look closely, however, there's still some symmetry. It forces the viewer to leave behind the orderly analysis of rows and instead evaluate the circle and what it represents. The circle isn't perfect. I suppose it could be if those who laid it out had planned it. It's a disrupter. Because there are a lot of burials from the Civil War era, with the battlefield not far down the road, the unevenness of the circle is likely a testament to how unplanned things were at the time. It's a pretty setting, though. Not many homes, a lot of open space and old, large trees. The cannon, sitting with the flag at the center documents the burial numbers. Seeing that and then the circle of white markers and the map of the battle that started it all, is a must for anyone with an interest in history. It's an unusual setting
