African Burial Ground National Monument
Free Today
The African Burial Ground National Monument commemorates the lives of the over 15,000 free and enslaved Africans who were buried in a 6.6-acre cemetery in lower Manhattan from the late 17th to mid-18th centuries, rediscovered in 1991 during construction of a federal building. The monument honors the essential contributions of Africans to the creation of New York City and the broader colonial enterprise.
