A cemetery was vandalized the weekend before Martin Luther King Jr. Day, where thieves allegedly stole more than 100 bronze name plaques at Lincoln Memorial Park in the city of Carson, about 30 miles south of Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.
Of those stolen, one memorial was donated by boxer Joe Louis in 1944 in memory of African American soldiers killed in World War II, a resident who volunteers by groundskeeping for the cemetery told television station KCAL9.
