African Burial Ground Memorial Foundation
The African Burial Ground Memorial Foundation (ABGMF) is dedicated to promoting and advancing the African Burial Ground National Monument site at 290 Broadway in New York City. The site is a National Historic Landmark and the oldest and largest known burial ground for free and enslaved people of African descent in North America. Working in partnership with the National Parks Service, the mission of the ABGMF is to lead efforts to preserve both the site and the monument, as well as advance the educational, civic, and programmatic opportunities related to the site’s significance to both New York City and American history.
