Its crazy how our government, is supposedly set up too promote equal opportunity, and care for people of all ethnicities, however at the discovery of what should be a historical landmark,(The New York Burial Ground), is instead the used as the support for construction of buildings. People ancestors graves where disturbed and hampered with. The people of the burial ground are human records of what the lifestyle was for slaves. Their bodies hold answers too questions about some of the first slaves in the "New World". And the sight if not left in peace would be better used as a way too research, and least of all as the landscape of construction work. All in all, I feel that events such as this display how curropt our government still is. These, souls literally helped mold America into the powerful nation it is today, I feel it is appalling that those souls graves should be thanked for their work in such an disrespectful way.
