Donation protected
Help our community share the story of the Pine Street African Burial Ground- Let's bring this history to light! (See teaser below).
Documentary footage recorded by Growing Films will be edited into a short film to tell a story of the history, protection and future of the Burial Ground in Kingston, NY, that was protected in 2019 through a partnership between Harambee and the Kingston Land Trust in collaboration with Scenic Hudson and with the support of the community.
Let’s make sure this historic and monumental process can be shared as an educational film to inspire not only our region, but efforts across the United States, as well as future generations.
