Summary edit

Description New grave markers at Mormon Island Relocation Cemetery in El Dorado Hills, Calif., shown Oct. 19, 2011, replace original markers for graves moved from Negro Hill Cemetery that contained an offensive racial epithet. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District moved the 36 graves from the original Negro Hill Cemetery to the relocation cemetery during the construction of Folsom Dam in 1954, and created the offensive markers. El Dorado County, which manages the cemetery, and the California Prison Industry Authority collaborated on the project to replace the markers. (U.S. Army Photo/Chris Gray-Garcia)
