SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: The Harlem African Burial Ground
DESCRIPTION:The Place\, Memory &amp\; Culture Incubator at Spitzer is pleas
 ed to invite all students\, faculty\, staff\, and guests to a special in-p
 erson Panel Discussion on the Harlem African Burial Ground.\n\nThis critic
 al conversation is hosted in collaboration with the Harlem African Burial 
 Ground Initiative\, NYC Economic Development Corporation\, Save Harlem Now
 !\, and Bridge Philanthropic Consulting.\n\nWe will reflect on the profoun
 d history and cultural legacy of the Harlem African Burial Ground and the 
 current efforts to honor the lives of those interred there.\n\nFounded in 
 1660\, the village of Nieuw Haarlem established segregated cemeteries: one
  for Europeans\, the other for people of African descent. The latter—the
  Harlem African Burial Ground—served the community for over two centurie
 s. While European remains were relocated in the mid-1800s\, those buried i
 n the African cemetery were left behind. The site\, now beneath a 1947-bui
 lt bus depot\, experienced decades of desecration and erasure.\n\nIn 2015\
 , archaeologists confirmed human remains at the site\, substantiating its 
 historical significance. Ongoing work aims to map the full extent of the b
 urial ground. Meanwhile\, efforts led by the Harlem African Burial Ground 
 Initiative (HABGI) and NYCEDC continue to envision a future for the site t
 hat includes a public memorial\, a cultural education center\, affordable 
 housing\, and community job opportunities.\n\nPlease join us as we uplift 
 this vital history and community vision!
