African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center Study Act

H.R. 1567 would direct the federal government to conduct a comprehensive study on creating an African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center in New York City. The African Burial Ground is a historic site where thousands of enslaved and free African Americans were buried during the colonial and early American periods. If enacted, this bill would authorize an investigation into the feasibility, design, funding mechanisms, and educational programming for a museum and center dedicated to preserving and interpreting this significant historical site and its cultural importance. The study would inform potential future development of facilities to commemorate the lives and experiences of those buried there and to provide educational resources about this important chapter of American history and the broader history of the African diaspora.
