Allegheny Portage Railroad
The Allegheny Portage Railroad was the first railroad to circumvent the Allegheny Mountains, and it was the finishing piece of the Pennsylvania Main Line Canal. The system was primarily used as a portage railway, hauling river boats and barges over the divide between the Ohio and the Susquehanna Rivers. It opened in 1834, marking the first time that there was one, direct route between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The Allegheny Portage Railroad served merchants, passengers, slaves in pursuit of freedom, and soldiers from the Mexican War.

African Burial Ground
Located in Lower Manhattan, New York City, the African Burial Ground National Monument contains the remains of more than 419 Africans buried during the late 17th and 18th centuries in a portion of what was the largest colonial-era cemetery for people of African descent, some free, most enslaved. Historians estimate there may have been as many as 10,000–20,000 burials in what was called the Negroes Burial Ground in the 18th century. The 5 to 6-acre site's excavation and study was called "the most important historic urban archaeological project in the United States." The Burial Ground site is New York's earliest known African-American cemetery; studies show an estimated 15,000 African American people were buried here.

Manzanar
Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten National Historic Sites where the US government incarcerated Japanese immigrants and Japanese American citizens during World War II. Located in Inyo County, California, Manzanar operated from March 1942 to November 1945, when over 11,000 detainees were held at the site. The center was located in a remote area, and detainees were subject to military-style discipline. The experience of detention was especially difficult for families, who were often separated from one another. Despite the challenges, many detainees made the best of their situation, forming close bonds with one another and working to create a sense of community. Today, Manzanar is a National Historic Landmark and a reminder of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
