African Burial Grounds

I enjoyed the trip to my home town, New York City to see the African Burial Grounds. I was excited to be home again and feel the NYC vibe again but most importantly excited to see this historical place that I’ve heard so much great things about. While looking at the different sites I learned a lot and grew a better appreciation and understanding of my culture. This ground which has a plethora of cultural exhibitions did not fail to amuse me and in fact every piece was eye opening. I distinctly remember seeing the pyramid door, although unfinished, a beautiful masterpiece both physically and for the meaning behind it. This door is said to be a symbol of the slaves leaving there motherland towards slavery. I enjoyed myself here and since I live in New York I’m positive that I will return to be enlightened again.
