Well, we all know the folktales that the Tigers were a rape, pillage and plunder outfit during that Era. Now isn't the time to change more history, IMO. Won't bring the bones back to life.

I think I heard that place was out of plots by the 1950s. Meaning anyone that would have a direct connection to those buried there are either also dead or are very old themselves.
Yup. Old cemeteries are both cool and depressing.
Whenever I pass I’m reminded of a line from a certain Tarantino movie.

The entire world is built upon someone else's bones. There really is no way around it.

Here’s how the Saul Alinsky Marxist program works.
First they seek and gain a government grant or grants. With this seed money they will concoct a “board” and pay them to complain about it and write more federal grants for more taxpayers money to implement removal and relocation.

Wrong pal
"According to LSU football tradition, the name came from a Civil War regiment known as the Louisiana Tigers, which distinguished itself with its fighting spirit in the battle of the Shenandoah Valley, where it was said they 'fought like tigers,'" wrote Dan Hardesty in his book, "LSU: The Louisiana Tigers."

I wish they would do this, but with Tiger Stadium. I would contribute money to the cause just for hilarity sake.

Look at mount Olive cemetery off 22nd. shite is literally falling apart. Exposed caskets, broken vaults.
No one has come to see the dead in decades or bothered to keep it up.
It’s a farce.
100% accurate. I visited that place 5 years ago for historical reasons and literally, was approached by a drug dealer the moment I stepped out of my car. I immediately realized I had made a mistake.

Word is that school officials vowed to relocate the bodies before the center was built, but in a cost-cutting measure, they only moved the headstones.

The loss of these alongside the lack of documentation for the burial grounds of slaves means Sluyter can’t definitively pinpoint when these graves were originally dug.
So we assume that because it was a slave plantation they buried them at that exact spot but really there is no proof one way or the other of the location. Seems plausible, yet unverifiable.
