February 28, 2008. Mapping the African American Past (MAAP), to be released in coming weeks, is a Web site that enhances the appreciation and study of significant sites and events in the history of African Americans in New York City from the early 17th-century through the recent past. The Web site uses period maps to navigate and explore 50 key locations, including the African Burial Ground, a National Historic Landmark in lower Manhattan. Accompanying the Web site is a podcast containing a series of readings performed by New York City high school students. This podcast was highlighted as "New and Notable" by the iTunes Directory editors on February 19th.
