"African Burial Ground"

Slavery ended in new york in the 1700's. The people who was buried in the african burial groundwas little kids. The reason why they was buried in the african burial ground was because they was worked to death. The role that blacks played was the early New York city. Two questions I would ask is why did those people work those children to death. An other question is did Dr. Wilson complete mission. The African Burial Ground is about a woman that has a mission to correct the popular misconception that slavery existed only in the south and not in New york city in the 1700's. The woman name is Sherril D.wilson. But people call her Dr.Wilson. She was paid by the federal government to educate the public about the restoration of the "African Burial Ground". Dr.wilson said that"they have people that say the holocaust did not happen." She also said that "there are people who try to pat slavery into a neat package as something that only happen south of the mason-Dixon line." I repeated what she said because she said that people said that the holocaust did not happen and it did and it's important to know that kind of stuff.
