ROLESVILLE, N.C. -

A debate over land that may house a new high school will continue tonight in Wake County.

The land, off Forestville Road in Rolesville, is the final resting place for dozens of slaves.

Wake County Commissioners say they can build the proposed H6 high school around the cemetery without disturbing it.

But some nearby residents want the site preserved.

A meeting on the issue begins at 7 p.m. in Raleigh.
