2010 - Day Sixteen
One of my very favorite things to do in the city is discover new things, and when you live in a place like New York, you can never have seen everything. I heard that they had found an old slave cemetary in Lower Manhattan while doing new construction, and I really wanted to go and see it. Turns out this happened over a decade ago and now it is just a museum that closes at 4 PM. However, there was this exterior monument, and I was convinced that if I could just look in the pit that they would have preserved some of the bones the way they found them. Unfortnately, this was not the case, instead it was simply a triangular structure with a map of the triangular trade in the pit. It still turned out to be a cool picture though.
