Founded in 1660, Elmendorf Reformed Church is the oldest church in Harlem, and the home church of the Harlem African Burial Ground. Through research into its records, the church has identified more than 40 names of those buried at the site.
Learn this Black history -- and the future of the burial ground -- during an afternoon of jazz, gospel and blues at Elmendorf.
You'll be treated to the Antoinette Montague Experience, featuring Antoinette Montague (vocals), Bobby Sanabria (drums), Danny Mixon (piano), Melissa Slocum (bass) and A.C. Lincoln (tap).
