Review:
The African Burial Ground National Monument preserves significant portions of New York's earliest-known and largest African-American cemetery site, which is estimated to have buried as many as 20,000 free and enslaved black citizens of the city during the 17th and 18th centuries. More than 420 burials are preserved today as part of the national monument, which was established in 2006 after what is considered to be one of the most significant archaeological endeavors in American history. A free-admission visitor center at the monument offers four exhibits on the history of the site and its cultural significance, along with a bookstore and a 40-seat theater showing daily presentations of a short documentary film.
