A 60-year-old chain link fence at a cemetery in Texas has just come down. For community members, that fence was a reminder of segregation that once existed in the town.
A metal barrier was the separation between burial areas at Cedars Memorial Gardens in Mineola, Texas, a town about 80 miles east of Dallas. Black people were buried on one side while Whites were buried on another. Each side is owned by a separate cemetery association, not by the city.Over the past 20 years the issue of the fence had come up off and on, Mercy Rushing, Mineola city manager, told CNN.
"After asking questions 14 years ago, Boyd said some changes were made, including the separation of burials based on skin color and a name change from Mineola City Cemetery to Cedars Memorial Gardens.But the fence remained.Boyd said an easement was created at the time, granting access between the plots and creating an opportunity"for all cultures to be buried on both sides.
