senate 02/25/2025 - 119th Congress

We're working to explore the feasibility of establishing the African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center at the African Burial Ground National Monument in New York. This study will help us assess how to best honor and educate about the history and cultural significance of those buried there, as well as the broader narrative of enslaved Africans in the U.S. and around the world.

Another taxpayer-funded project we can't afford.

History should be celebrated, but let's focus on current issues as well.

This is how we right historical wrongs and honor those who came before us.
