Opinion: A cemetery told Darrell Semien s family he couldn t be buried there because he was Black. I wasn t shocked. Bill Janz, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel © Karla Semien The Semien family. You might think that this happened 200 years ago, but it happened just a few days ago. The body of Darrell Semien was rejected for burial in a Louisiana cemetery because he was Black. He had been a deputy sheriff for 15 years, putting his life on the line for his community, and he helped raise 72 foster children. Didn t matter. He was Black. Maybe murderers were buried in that cemetery, or a couple of rapists or bank robbers, but that didn t matter either, they were white.
