В Кингстоне пройдет благотворительный вечер в честь национального статуса кладбища африканцев на Пайн-стрит

KINGSTON, N.Y. — Harambee Kingston will celebrate the Pine Street African Burial Ground’s National Historic Designation with a special event on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 5-8 p.m. at the Venue at the Best Western Plus at 503 Washington Ave. Proceeds from the event will support Harambee Kingston’s campaign to raise $50,000 in matching funds toward the development of the Pine Street African Burial Ground Memorial Grounds at 157 Pine St.. The event will feature a presentation about the Pine Street African Burial Ground, a meet-and-greet social, a silent auction, hors d’oeuvres with vegetarian options available, and a cash bar. Harambee said the Memorial Grounds design is based on the youth design team’s vision created in partnership with Kan Landscape Design. “This project represents an important investment in preserving history, honoring the Ancestors, and creating a lasting place of remembrance, education, and reflection for generations to come,” a news release said.
