The African Burial Ground National monument is also breaking new ground in the world of podcasting. Our rangers create podcasts as a way to inform visitors around the world about our site's history, symbolism, and meaning. These podcasts or as we prefer to call them, digital gallery talks, can help inform our visitors about our site's meaning before, after, or during a visit to our visitor center. We have also created a set of podcasts that tells the meaning of the symbols used at our memorial.
