​Hunts Point Express: Students Get a Lesson in Archaeology

"Students from P.S. 48’s English Language Learners program will be conducting research in Joseph Rodman Drake Park in Hunts Point. Drake, the 19th century poet, is buried there, along with his family members. Archeologists believe a slave burial ground was located just south of the cemetery, a history that was unearthed by students from the school three years ago."  Visit the South Bronx Intensive English Sessions website for more information.
