Bill 119 hr 1568, also known as the African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center Act, aims to establish a memorial museum and educational center in New York City to honor the African burial ground located in Lower Manhattan. The burial ground is a significant historical site where thousands of enslaved and free Africans were buried during the 17th and 18th centuries.

If passed, the bill would allocate funding for the construction and maintenance of the museum and educational center, as well as for educational programs and exhibits. The establishment of the African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center would serve as a lasting tribute to the African American community and their enduring legacy in the United States.
