Westview Community Cemetery is a historic black American cemetery in Pompano Beach, Florida.
It was created in 1952 during segregation when black Americans could not be buried together with whites in Florida.[1] the land for the cemetery was donated by Paul Hunter, Sr., a local businessman, to accommodate the interment of black Americans in Pompano Beach.
It is the final resting place of Esther Rolle (1920–1998), actress famous for the 1970s sitcom Good Times and her sister Estelle Evans (1906–1985), from the 1962 movie To Kill a Mockingbird. Rosanna Carter (1918–2016), stage and screen actress, is buried there as well.
The board managing the cemetery sold four unused acres contiguous with the cemetery for $1.4 million to a commercial real estate developer in 2023. Walter Hunter, the board's president, said that the money from the sale will be used to improve the cemetery's condition.[2]
