African Burial Ground, New York

African Burial Ground National Monument New York City, New York – A poignant site in Lower Manhattan, the African Burial Ground National Monument protects an excavated African burial ground thought to date from the 1630s to 1795. The burial ground was discovered in the late 20th century during survey work prior to construction of an office tower here – the remains of some 15,000 Africans (both free and enslaved) who lived in New York were found. Today their lives are honoured with a memorial and their history is chronicled in an interpretive centre and research library.
