HR 1567 United States House · 119th Congress

African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center Study Act

HR 1567 requires the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study assessing the feasibility of establishing the African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center at New York City's African Burial Ground National Monument. The study will examine factors like available collections (including DNA samples from remains), potential locations (such as 22 Reade Street), community involvement, financial planning, and collaboration opportunities with institutions like the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The Secretary must submit a report to Congress within three years, detailing findings on costs, location options, and recommendations for the museum's potential development. This bill does not create the museum but sets the process for evaluating its future establishment.
