Talk | Special Panel on the Harlem African Burial Ground


A powerful evening of reflection, storytelling, and community dialogue as we honor the legacy of those more laid to rest and share the ongoing work to uplift their memory and preserve this sacred ground. Founded in 1660, the village of Nieuw Haarlem established segregated cemeteries: one for Europeans, the other for people of African descent. The latter—the Harlem African Burial Ground—served the community for over two centuries. While European remains were relocated in the mid-1800s, those buried in the African cemetery were left behind. The site, now beneath a 1947-built bus depot, experienced decades of desecration and erasure. In 2015, archaeologists confirmed human remains at the site, substantiating its historical significance. Ongoing work aims to map the full extent of the burial ground. Meanwhile, efforts led by the Harlem African Burial Ground Initiative (HABGI) and NYCEDC continue to envision a future for the site that includes a public memorial, a cultural education center, affordable housing, and community job opportunities. less
