"A group of Black residents from St. James Parish, Louisiana, got the
green light on Thursday to hold an hour-long Juneteenth prayer service
on a burial plot containing the remains of formerly enslaved people. The
ceremony, planned for Friday, has been a point of contention — not due
to fears over coronavirus, which has hit the community particularly
hard, but because the site technically belongs to Taiwanese plastics
manufacturer Formosa." --- Rachel Ramirez article on grist https://grist.org/justice/juneteenth-formosa-st-james-parish-cancer-alley-black-burial-ground/
