Jorome Reddicks - spraypaint tomb

Some tombs are spray painted with a name.

Jorome Reddicks was the beginning of a very

long line of painted tombs, though most were

just a number of some sort.

 

Tombs are now laying on their sides, are open,

broken, or grave stones have been left in disarray.

 

Many tombs have been uprooted from their

given locations. This cemetery in particular was

in upheaval due to the mississippi river across the

street, the storm surge, flood waters from the broken

levee....etc. There were many reports of tombs, coffins,

and the dead all floating in the flood water.
