African Burial Ground Memorial Office

Got lost trying to find the memorial - but glad we persevered and made it there. We’re a little disappointed that we were not able to see the inside exhibit and learn more - as appointments were required which we did not anticipate - so I would look into this in advance before visiting. But an important site to see and learn from.

Not much to see here but an important memorial for historic African burials in NYC

Many threads in the tapestry that is New York City, too long unseen.

A beautiful monument and a very sad and powerful piece of history. I think the city could’ve done more to acknowledge what they have done and still are doing. It’s currently being protected by scaffolding cause of the building going on next to it. Also, the government shutdown prevented us from being able to see it close up.

We went to see the outdoor monument knowing that the visitor center was closed. While we were there, a park ranger came out to talk with us. He was very informative and we appreciated that he came out to tell us about it. It's a beautiful and thoughtful memorial.
