(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) The grave for Green Flake, who was an African American member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during their first years in Utah, is seen at Union Fort Pioneer Memorial Cemetery in Cottonwood Heights on Thursday, May 23, 2019. Several other African Americans are buried in unmarked graves in this area of the cemetery. One of them, Hark Lay Wales, came to Utah as a slave in Brigham Young's company. He will get a grave marker Monday.
