It continues BECAUSE it remains unspoken.

Hi, most definitely there are still segregated cemetaries in most parts of Louisiana, including Jena. We can probably say that this is one of those “social facts” in these parts. I’m sure that most people never even think of this; it is one of those unspoken things that just continues.

Thanks, Lou. Is there still a racially segregated cemetery in Jena, other parts of Louisiana?

Hi, what an interesting story. I usually conduct research with African American students in this particular area of Texas and this, unfortunately is not uncommon to hear about. I guess my concern is with how Mayor Wolfe justified the perpetuation of segregated cemetaries. It appears to be a clear indication that he is operating from the ‘white racial frame.’
