Where is the confederate cemetery?

Asked by Wiki User

The city that had been known as the "Cradle of the Confederacy" has the dual distinction of being the "Birthplace of Civil Rights." Shortly after marrying his college sweetheart in marion, Alabama, 24 year old martin Luther King Jr., preached his first sermon at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, a block from the Alabama State Capitol where Southern secessionists had formed the Confederacy in 1861. The next year in 1955, 42 year old seamstress Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to relinquish her seat on a city bus to whites as required by city ordinance. Negro ministers and lawyers, who had been waiting for a test case on the constutionality of the law, recruited the reluctant young minister to lead a boycott of city buses.King's stirring oratory galzvanized the black community and made him the spokesman for the fledgling movement. Some 50,000 Negroes refused to ride the city's buses for 381 days until the U.S. Supreme Court struck down laws segregating public transportation. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was the first major victory in the modern Civil Rights Movement. Dr. King became the acknowledged leader of the movement. His increased responsibilities prompted him to resign from church duties after four years. Meanwhile, Mrs. Parks and her husband moved north to establish an educational program for young people.After "Freedom Rider" college students were attacked in Montgomery in 1964, for the first time federal authorities provided protection for civil rights demonstrators. King's non violent leadership was recognized with the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.Voting rights advocates in Selma decided to take action by presenting their grievances to the governor, walking 54 miles along U.S. 80 to the State Capitol in Montgomery. After police halted the first attempt, the federal courts became involved and provided protection to marchers so that they could go forward and finish their landmark journey. As the Selma-to-Montgomery Voting Rights march, which began March 21, 1965, streamed into downtown Montgomery five days later en route to the Capitol, marchers passed the bus stop where Mrs. Parks had been arrested a decade earlier.

Why do people bless themselves when passing a cemetery?

Asked by Wiki User

It is a sign of respect for the dead as well as a prayer for all the faithfully departed interred therein. The sign of the cross is in itself an extremely powerful prayer, but Catholics may choose to add a short prayer, such as, "Eternal rest grant them O Lord and perpetual light shine upon them and may their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen."

Why cant people who committed suicide be buried in church cemeteries?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most likely because suicide is considered self murder. Also that some foolish self appointed Gods of the non compassionate religion thought that they were doing God's will.

Suicide is a sin if the persons mind is sound at the time of the act, but who really knows why a person kills themselves?. Most are committed because the mind of the person is not stable at the time. What right has anyone to say that they cannot be given a proper burial in a church yard. Has any religion the right to judge a person who commits such an act. Let God be the judge, and give the unfortunate a proper burial.

How big is a cemetery plot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no standard size. A typical plot in the US is 30 inches wide (80 cm), 7 feet long (210 cm) and 6 feet deep (180 cm). Florida requires new plots to be 42 inches wide (105 cm), 96 inches long (240 cm), with 12 inches of soil over the top of the burial container (30 cm). Jewish tradition requires the grave to be at least 40 inches deep (100 cm), and wide and long enough for the body plus coffin, if one is used. Obviously, cemeteries that routinely use concrete burial vaults to enclose the coffin will require larger plots than those where the dead are buried in just a wooden coffin. Burial of cremated remains permits use of much smaller plots.

What things do people do on Memorial Day other than bbqs picnics fireworks and go to cemeteries?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fireworks are not usually allowed at Memorial Day observances. The picnics and barbecues are generally just to celebrate the unofficial start of summer. Memorial Day is really to honor all military personnel who have died during all wars and military actions in which the United States has been involved. That is why people go to cemeteries. The President or his appointed representative lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unkown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. There is a National Memorial Day Parade held in Washington DC and there are other parades held all over the nation. And there is also a National Memorial Day Concert held at the US Capitol in Washington DC.
