Chinese settlers' remains to be reburied

Buddhist monk Jangchub Chophel, from Long Beach, Calif., blesses a memorial wall honoring the 174 burial remains at Evergreen Cemetery east of downtown Los Angeles on Monday. The remains of some of the US's earliest Chinese settlers, whose graves were discovered five years ago, will soon be reburied in a cemetery that once denied them entry.
