We're working to explore the possibility of establishing the African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center in New York City. This would honor enslaved individuals buried at the site and educate the public about the broader history and impact of slavery. Our study will assess its feasibility, ensuring community and expert input guides the process.
