••• “Several New York politicians are pushing for a comprehensive museum near the African Burial Ground on Duane Street. The museum would be larger than the 2,500-square-foot visitors center that opened nearby last year, and it would also cover the history of slavery across the United States. [… Rep. Jerrold] Nadler’s legislation, introduced last Thursday, would create an African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center adjacent to the 300-year-old cemetery. The federal government would pay two-thirds of the cost of finding a site and building the museum, including an initial allocation of $15 million in 2012.” (DNAinfo)
