rake up
Bring up again
To rake up is to gather using a rake or similar sweeping motion: We raked up the leaves into piles.
More often the phrase means to revive something unpleasant from the past: Why rake up old grievances?
The image is of disturbing settled material—digging through what was buried or forgotten to bring it back to the surface.
