Battle Over Interment Of Black GI In Whites-Only Cemetery
Funeral services for Spec 4 Pondexteur Eugene Williams are finished as a legal fight grows to force burial in a nonsegregated plot. Williams, a Vietnam casualty and former high school football lineman who helped desegregate the school, is denied burial at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens due to white-only contracts. An attorney for Williams' mother viewed court action in Miami to obtain an emergency hearing. Cemetery manager Livesay faces pressure from local leaders to yield while upholding the policy.
