But in 1991 scientists rediscovered New York’s long-ignored African Burial Ground, which opened an exciting new window into the past. At the same time, by blending together the insights found buried in the soil and the results of historians’ careful studies, it gives us a moving, inspiring portrait of the lives Africans created in Colonial New York.
