Another Witness Confirms Existence of Hidden 'White Cemetery' at Dozier School for Boys
Yet another former inmate of the infamousArthur G. Dozier School for Boys (Florida's now-closed reform-school-from-hell) has come forward to tell Sunshine State News he, too, witnessed the existence of an additional cemetery on the campus grounds, back when he attended the school in 1969.
According to the state's official story, Dozier only ever had one cemetery, named Boot Hill and located in what, back in the days of segregation (1900, when the school was opened, to 1968, when segregation was outlawed), used to be the African-American section of the Marianna campus.
Supposedly, and contrary to prevailing practice at the time elsewhere in America, and especially in the South, the school complex did not have separate cemeteries for blacks and whites. All children who died in the state's custody, whatever their race, were buried on Boot Hill, enjoying in the grave the racial ecumenism they were denied while they were alive.
This week alone, four former inmates have stepped forward to tell SSN they have personally seen one or more of the long-rumored "white cemeteries" --i.e., a graveyard on the portion of the campus set aside to house white students.
