Plain-English Summary
The federal government would study the feasibility of creating an international museum and educational center dedicated to the African Burial Ground, a historic site in New York City where thousands of enslaved and free African Americans were buried in the 1600s and 1700s. The study would examine how to develop this facility to educate visitors about this important but often overlooked part of American history and its global significance. The project would affect historians, educators, tourists, and communities interested in preserving African American heritage and ensuring this burial ground receives appropriate recognition and remembrance.
