Support Preservation of African American Burial Grounds

For many years, African American burial grounds across the nation have suffered from a state of disrepair or are inaccessible, and many remain undocumented. These sacred places for tribute and memory are integral to the shared story of our American heritage.

As part of the FY 2023 omnibus spending package, Congress included provisions of the African American Burial Grounds Preservation Act that authorized a National Park Service-administered grant program to be implemented in consultation with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and African American heritage groups. This new $3 million grant program will aid efforts across the country to research, identify, document, preserve, and interpret historic African American burial grounds.

Please join the National Trust in asking your elected officials to support the newly authorized African American Burial Grounds Preservation Program by approving full funding of $3 million in FY 2025 appropriations to enable the launch of this program.
