dc.description	n 1991 in lower Manhattan, construction workers and archaeologists stumbled across an unexpected treasure. Two blocks from city hall, under twenty feet of asphalt, concrete, and rubble, lay the remains of the eighteenthcentury “Negroes Burial Ground.” Closed in 1790 and covered over by roads and buildings throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the site turned out to be the largest such archaeological find in North America, containing the remains of as many as twenty thousand African Americans. The graves revealed to New Yorkers and the nation an aspect of history long hidden:the large numbers of enslaved African and African American men, women, and children who labored to create colonial Manhattan.	en_US
