Burr Oak Cemetery


It's basically the Tri-State Crematorium situation again:

Burr Oak is a flat-marker cemetery on the south side of Chicago, and the area's
first cemetery created specifically for African-Americans.

I visited in '03; the manager and her husband gave me a tour, focusing on
historic
burial sites like Emmett Till (the teenager lynched in Mississippi in the 1950s
for whistling at a white woman) and blues musicians.

The manager I spoke to then left soon after, and was not named at
all in this indictment. That's a bit of a relief; she and her husband were
very proud of their cemetery, and I can't see them being involved in
something like this.
