Civil rights lawyer Ben Crump is requiring an examination after 215 bodies were discovered buried in a cemetery behind a Mississippi prison. The Chicago Crusader reports the remains were found in a pauper’s cemetery behind the Hinds County, Mississippi prison. The gravesites are apparently marked with simply a metal rod and number. Following the news, Crump signed up with forces with Reverend Hosea Hines, senior Pastor of the Christ Tabernacle Church and the nationwide leader of A New Day Coalition for Equity and Black America, to require an examination into the reasons for the 215 deaths. “People all throughout America are scratching their heads in shock about what’s occurring in Jackson, Mississippi, with this pauper’s graveyard,” Crump informed a parish at the Stronger Hope Baptist Church in Jackson last month. “It went from speaking about the water” that was non-existent or infected, “to now we’re discussing the graveyard. What is going on in Jackson, Mississippi?” Hines repeated Crump’s issues, stating it “distresses my heart” to understand the realitives of the deceased have actually gone so long without understanding where their liked ones bodies are buried. “It truly distresses my heart to understand that their loved ones went that long, some over a year, not understanding if their liked ones were dead or alive and after that pertaining to the awareness that they had actually been buried in a pauper’s tomb behind a jailhouse,” Hines stated. “If they had actually been appropriately informed, they would have had the ability to pay their correct regard.” Crump verified that it’s uncertain if the deaths were brought on by “bigotry, bias, or bigotry.” More on this Ben Crump Says Glenn Foster Jr.’s Death Might’ve Involved Strangulation, Citing Independent AutopsyJoshua Espinoza · Dec. 17, 2021 Ben Crump Files Lawsuit Against Johnson & Johnson Over ‘Cancerous’ Powder Targeted at Black WomenJoshua Espinoza · July 27, 2021 Mississippi Funeral Home Accused of Putting Wrong Person in a CasketJoshua Espinoza · Nov. 17, 2023
