African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center Study Act

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior, through the National Park Service, to study whether it is suitable and feasible to build a museum and educational center at the African Burial Ground National Monument in New York City. The proposed museum would honor enslaved people buried there and others enslaved worldwide, examine African cultural traditions, and explore the history of slavery. The study must look at available collections, local support and financial planning, who should run the museum, and public support for locations such as 22 Reade Street. The Secretary must report results, costs, and recommendations to Congress within 3 years after funding is first provided.
