We're moving to establish the African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center in New York City. By doing so, we aim to honor the memories of the enslaved Africans buried there, while educating the public about their cultural heritage and the broader history of slavery. This facility will serve as a lasting tribute to resilience and a tool for understanding and reflection.
