A link has been set up on the right sidebar of the blog for anyone interested in including their signature of support for passage of "The African American Burial Grounds Preservation Act" in the U. S. Senate.
Below is information is from "Heritage Ohio":
"The bill authorizes a $3 million grant program to aid efforts across the country to identify, document, preserve, research, and interpret historic African American burial grounds. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) just introduced S. 3667 in the Senate. Next week, Representatives Alma Adams (D-NC) and Rep. Don McEachin (D-VA) will introduce the same bill in the U.S. House of Representatives.
"We can all help this bill succeed by demonstrating widespread support for the African American Burial Grounds Preservation Act.
Please, join us in signing this letter of support.
Share it with any other groups who share these goals.
Together with staff from the Congressional staff sponsoring the legislation, we'll maintain a running list of supporters."
