What does “multiracial bodies” mean? American news is so weird sometimes. Absolutely, hopelessly, psychotically obsessed with race.

“Gretchen Hankins, who is white…”
“Mary Moore Glenn, a Black woman…”

The article barely provide any other details, it’s so confusing to a European. The reader doesn’t need to know, it has no bearing on the story, it’s really jarring.

Anyway I thought this would be an old prison cemetery, but it sounds like a relatively recent mass grave. Containing, as they were keen to point out in the first sentence of the article, people of various ethnicities.

What series of decisions led to this, I wonder? Could it have been during the pandemic? At least that might partly justify something like this as a temporary measure.
