Graves of Dozens of African-American Boys Among Those Found at Florida Reform School
|
Posted By: Michelle Diane on December 12, 2012 Authorities have found nearly 100 unmarked graves at a Florida reform school where students were reportedly beaten, murdered, and even ****. It was originally believed that 81 boys died at the school, but scientists researching the grounds now believe that 98 boys died while at the school between 1911 and 1973. At least 19 of the deaths appear not to have been reported to law enforcement. The Dozier School for Boys opened in 1900 and has gone by several names. Even though the names changed, the school was always known for its ****. Many activists demanded reforms during the time, but little changed. The school, which opened in 1900, was closed in June 2011 by the Department of Juvenile Justice after a years-long investigation of widespread physical and s*xual abuse. Thus far, the evidence of deaths has come mostly from the African-American gravesite on the north side of the school. Many of those graves were marked with crosses. But researchers are are not done with their research and anticipate finding additional gravesites on the other side of campus where the white boys lived. ‘We anticipated finding about 25 to 30 grave shafts,’ said Christian Wells, an assistant professor of anthropology who led the anthropological work at the site. ‘But in fact we found a minimum of 50.’ Dozier’s records show that at least 50 students were buried on the school’s campus, while over 30 bodies were sent away to be buried. Some of the boys were **** after attempting to escape the reform school. African-American children at the school were three times more likely to be buried in an unspecified location than the white boys, the report found, according to a report done by researchers. http://www.yourblackworld.net/2012/12/blac...

Michelle, Is not your blog another real reason why I am right that our only permanent solution has always been sovereignty in a country of our own? Here is another example of how stupid you are. I’ve explained in detail why we are not African people yet you keep referring to us as African people and that is because you are stupid. It hurt me like hell that you all don’t want to be different from other people especially African people. Wednesday, December 12th 2012 at 9:29PM |

The Glen Mills Schools (GMS) is a residential facility for juvenile delinquents located in Glen Mills and in Thornbury Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.[1][2][3][4] David Barstow of the St. Petersburg Times said that Glen Mills was "the country's most radical and, some say, its most effective answer yet to juvenile crime."[5] The facility serves boys between 15 and 18 years of age.[6] Cosimo D. "Sam" Ferrainola, who served as the director of Glen Mills for many years, said that Glen Mill's social structure is, in the words of David Barstow of the St. Petersburg Times, "a system of social control borrowed directly from street gangs.[...] Which is why Glen Mills recruits gang members as students. They readily understand the power of peer pressure and the rewards of status. The big difference between a street gang and Glen Mills is that students aren't allowed to lay a hand on each other."[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Mills_Sc...
