Preserve and Create a Memorial Visiting Institution for the African Slaves discovered in Drake Park in Bronx, New York

Created by M.A. on January 16, 2014

There's a slave burial ground in the Hunts Point section of the Bronx and we need your help remembering and memorializing the slaves of Drake Park in a sustained way. This means that it'll take more than a plaque to memorialize their hidden ancestral legacy. This issue is of significant importance in the Bronx and in the New York City Community at large. The memorial should be examined as a visiting institution so persons across the US can learn the history of the persons buried in the Bronx County and remembered for years to come.

National Action Network Bronx Chapter has taken up this cause for action. Nanbronxchapter@gmail.com, 347 951-9626. Facebook NANBronxChapter, Ms. DaShawn Williams, President, Rev. Dr. Khali Mootoo Vice President. Ms. Michelle J. Alleyne Crisis Management Chair
