African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center Study Act

# African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center Study Act This bill would direct the federal government to conduct a study examining the feasibility of creating an international memorial museum and educational center at or near the African Burial Ground in New York City. The African Burial Ground is a historic site in lower Manhattan where thousands of enslaved and free African Americans were buried in the 17th and 18th centuries before the area was developed. The study would evaluate whether such a museum is practical, what it might cost, and how it could best serve as a memorial and educational resource. The bill primarily affects New York City and would involve federal agencies working with local stakeholders to explore this project.

Key provisions include commissioning a formal feasibility study and gathering input from community members, historians, and cultural institutions. The goal is to create a space that honors the history of African Americans in early America while educating the public about this significant historical site. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
