Now, I don't know if you have heard about this, but I think you should definitely look into it and hopefully it will spark some conversation. Why were these people, I mean, we need answers. Why were these people just thrown out in this field, not even embalmed, shallow grave. Nobody is notified, and it's only marked with a metal pole with basically a number. I've seen the photographs of it. You're like, what is going on? I need answers
That did happen, but for me, because I understood where her heart was at, that it was easier, right, to pretend as though, well, not that it hadn't happened, but she would always say, mike, why do you dwell on things that you can't change?
Thank you for bringing this article to everyone's attention. It's a good find. Obviously, seeing as how this is a prison in Mississippi, I imagine I can jump to conclusions of why these people were buried in such a way. And it doesn't have probably has a lot to do skin color, but also probably just the fact that it's just poor people. Poor people ending up in unmarked graves, just numbers and not actually human beings

First of all, I am so sorry for the families of these people because they deserve to be buried correctly, they deserve to be respected. And their bodies are just thrown out here. Totally disrespected, inhumane treatment, even in death. You know, we had a similar situation happen years and years ago here in Illinois, in Chicago, and it actually involved my grandmother's grave as well

And what was really eerie about this is that there was a window at the front of the casket. And when they looked through the window, they could see the color of the skin, and it was a black woman. And so they did some research. They did some investigating. They were trying to figure out who she was, because to get buried in a cast iron casket was actually very highly expensive

And the abuse that I saw take place, it was like I could have been part of that lawsuit because I was a witness, but at the same time, I was going through just finding out I had cancer. So I couldn't really just jump right into trying to be a part of that lawsuit

Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate that because it gives me hope and I know I'm going to see my grandma again in heaven. I cannot wait. Going to be super excited and super excited. But the disrespect that was given to her was bad, and to all these other people, too. But thank you so much for such an encouraging post it, because it does, it makes me feel better. Because you're right
