"Elmwood is a place for all people. It is Memphis history."

I'm new to Wikipedia editing so I am hesitant to remove this line, but its tone is more opinionated than factual. Discussion?

Hi David,

The writer of the article made the "Elmwood is a place for all people" statement after noting that there were mayors, murderers, and everything in between buried in Elmwood. So I took the above quoted statement to be a summation of that fact and not, therefore, an opinion.

As for saying that "it is Memphis history" - well, that could be an opinion, I suppose. I would say, however, that it is probably just badly worded.

Just my opinion. Hope that helps!
