Westview Community Cemetery is a historic African-American cemetery in Pompano Beach, Florida.
It was created in 1952 during segregation when African-Americans could not be buried together with whites in Florida.[1]
It is the final resting place of Esther Rolle, actress famous for the 1970s sitcom Good Times and her sister Estelle Evans, from the 1962 movie To Kill a Mockingbird.[2][3]
