Congress Member Dan Goldman (D-Manhattan, Brooklyn) introduced a bill on Monday to build a museum and education center on the site of a massive African burial ground in Lower Manhattan, including $15 million for the museum’s first year that could go toward any aspect of getting it up and running.

In addition to the $15 million, the bill — dubbed the “African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center Act” — also includes unspecified amounts for subsequent years and “such sums necessary” for acquiring a site and building the structure.
