The National Park Service invites members of the public to three Open Houses to share their ideas and expectations for the future of the African Burial Ground National Monument. A General Management Plan (GMP) is being drafted to recommend how this sacred site in downtown Manhattan may educate and inspire people all over the world during the next 20 years.
