The news is out: [A small Louisiana cemetery has changed its sales contracts after a Black sheriff’s deputy was denied burial because of a provision that only allowed white people to be buried there.
The board of Oaklin Springs Cemetery held an emergency meeting Thursday to change the provision which had been in the sales contracts since the cemetery was founded in the late 1950s, according to board president H. Creig Vizena. He said the board removed the word “white” from a line in the contract that previously said “for the burial of the remains of white human beings.”]
Now the Christian God can remove the word “white” from his heavenly list of angels.
