Vandals have damaged or destroyed dozens of headstones at a Livingston, Texas cemetery.

Addie Mae White went to Corrisville Cemetery to check on her son's grave site on Sunday.

"They need God in their life or something. This is evil. It's just evil," she said.

Investigators said someone knocked over and smashed nearly every head stone in the historically African-American cemetery.

White said her grandmother, parents, her husband are all buried there and she's even chosen a plot for her own final resting place.

Investigators said they believe the vandalism was the work of more than one person.

Willie White wonders who could have been so cruel.
