On Tuesday, Florida’s Cabinet decided it will allow researchers to begin exhuming unmarked graves at the Dozier School for Boys, a now-closed notorious reform school. Former residents say boys were routinely beaten and subjected to other harsh treatment and that some died as a result. Now, families of boys who died there want answers. \u00a0To learn more see:<\/p>\n

USF researchers find more graves at Dozier School for Boys<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another 19 unmarked graves have been found at a north Florida boy\u2019s reform school. Researchers from the University of South Florida are reporting findings based ground penetrating radar and soil chemistry to answer questions surrounding the Dozier School for Boys in Marianna.<\/p>\n

USF archeological and anthropological researchers think it\u2019s likely that there is a second cemetery in that location based on the fact that records show 81 reported deaths at the school. Antoinette Jackson, an anthropologist on the research team said the prevalence of segregation during the time of the reported deaths also suggests the possibility of other burial sites. \u00a0For more on the story see:<\/p>\n
