The trip to New York to see the African Burial Ground was very interesting. It is a lot different to see it rather than just hearing about it. It was easier to connect to everything they went through and the true historical significance of the African Burial Ground when you can see it. It was very disturbing to see how small the actual monument is. There are so many bodies buried in that area and all these buildings have just been built on top of them intentionally as if they did not mean anything. The lack of humanity that they show towards all these people because of history is unbelievable. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the trip and I learned so much that I feel everyone else should have access to as well. The trip was more than amazing.
