Support H.R. 6805: Preserve African American Burial Grounds & Fight Injustices

The Senate bill to protect historic African American cemeteries and establish the African American Burial Grounds Network is a significant step towards preserving our shared history. This initiative, focusing on at-risk burial grounds in South Carolina and authorizing a nationwide study, is crucial in the face of increasing awareness of systemic injustices. The proposed network, operating under the National Park Service, would provide much-needed resources for preservation. Over 60 organizations dedicated to cultural heritage and preservation support this initiative. It is requested that you lend your support to House Bill H.R. 6805, the African-American Burial Grounds Preservation Act, thereby contributing to the preservation of these important historical sites and the broader fight against systemic injustices.
