The African Burial Ground

In 1991, construction workers in New York made a startling discovery: a burial ground containing the remains of 420 men, women, and children—enslaved and free Africans from the 1600s and 1700s. This compelling nonfiction title uncovers one of the most significant archaeological finds of the twentieth century, revealing overlooked details about colonial life for Africans in early New York. With engaging sidebars, fact boxes, timelines, and maps, this book fills gaps left by traditional history texts, offering readers a deeper understanding of African American history and its lasting legacy.
