LaChandra L. Pace pauses during last Saturday’s cleanup at historic Woodland Cemetery in Henrico County to talk with volunteers about her uncle, tennis champion and human rights advocate Arthur Ashe Jr., who is buried in the cemetery. The Woodland Cemetery Volunteers held a “birthday cleanup” in honor of Mr. Ashe, who would have been 77 on July 10. Mr. Ashe is one of dozens of African-American luminaries buried in the private cemetery at 2300 Magnolia Road that dates to 1916.
