Jan 29, 2021 Wow, what a slap in the face, his widow, Karla Semien, stated.
A Louisiana cemetery barred the burial of a Black sheriff’s deputy last week because of its “whites-only” sales restriction.
The widow of Darrell Semien, who died last Sunday, was stunned to learn that Oaklin Springs Cemetery in Allen Parish had such a policy that dated back to a 1950s sales contract.
“Wow what a slap in the face,” Karla Semien wrote in a Facebook post:
Nearly a quarter of the residents in Allen Parish are Black.
When Karla Semien and her children went to the cemetery to pick out a plot, the saleswoman “just looked us cold in the face, and straight-up said, ‘I can’t sell you a plot,’” daughter Madison told local ABC affiliate KATC-3 TV.
