The center is located in the federal building whose construction 19 years ago led to the unearthing of a graveyard containing the bones of African Americans from the 17th and 18th centuries.

The visitor’s interpretive center designed by Roberta Washington Architects provides the backdrop for telling the story of the African burial ground and those buried there.

The concert begins at 8 p.m. and will feature Elevate the Quest and Calvin Payne and is being produced by Lilli Lewis and The Shiz. But the real star of the show is Lindsey, 45, an African-American Atlanta-based lesbian, community activist, former nurse and mother to several nieces who tragically became a quadruple amputee after contracting bacterial meningitis in her mid-twenties.

According to activist Louisa McCullough, the purpose of the concert is to first raise funds that will defray the costs of a double hand transplant which Lindsey will soon undergo - making her the first African American to receive a bilateral hand transplant.

She is now near the top of the donor list for a surgery that will certainly change her life forever.
