A vandal scrawled a racist message at a landmark African burial ground in Lower Manhattan this week, cops said on Saturday.
The culprit used a black marker to write the words “kill n—–s” on an information stanchion at the African Burial Ground National Historic Monument on Thursday between 11:35 a.m. and noon, police said.
Someone reported the disturbing discovery to cops around 9:30 p.m., police said.
By the time cops arrived, the hateful graffiti had already been removed, cops said.
No arrests had been made by Saturday afternoon.
The burial ground, which dates from the mid-1630s to 1795 and became a National Historic Landmark in 1993, contains more than 15,000 intact skeletal remains of enslaved and free Africans who lived and worked in colonial New York.
