A Miami attorney has filed a class action lawsuit in North Carolina involving numerous grave desecrations allegedly committed in a historically African American cemetery.

Alec Schultz, a partner at Hilgers Graben, represents the plaintiffs, whose family members were buried in York Memorial Park, a burial ground established for African Americans during the nation’s Jim Crow segregation era, against the defendants, who include Carothers Holdings Co. LLC.
