As salaam alaikum wa rahmaatuulahhi wa baraakaatuu,
Skeletal remains of about 1,600 people unearthed from paupers’ cemeteries on the Milwaukee County Grounds during the early 1990s represent a “unique and remarkable” opportunity for research and will be kept for academic study rather than reburied, the Wisconsin Historical Society has decided.
“I think it would be boneheaded and stupid to rebury them,” said Bennet, a former member of the Burial Sites Preservation Board. He said the County Grounds site is a “one of a kind” opportunity for study.

my comment:
I don’t understand what they will get by studying the remains of these ‘poor’ people. It is kind of wack that in the name of science these people will be denied their right.
