A Louisiana cemetery changed certain provisions after rules prevented it from allowing a black family to purchase a burial plot for a relative in law enforcement.
Allen Parish Sheriff's Deputy Darrell Semien died on Sunday, and his widow was told days later that he couldn’t be buried at the Oaklin Springs Cemetery because of specific language in the sales contract, she said.
The contract stipulation said, “The right of burial of the remains of white human beings.” The board, in response, had an emergency meeting on Thursday in which members voted to remove the word "white."
