I doubt that you can find Kunta Kinte's grave because obviously back in the 1800s, i don't think they were marking graves, especially for slaves. even if Kunta Kinte's grave was marked, with the passage of 3 centuries, i don't think it can be traced today in the 21st century. But wherever the grave is, may this great great son of Africa rest in peace.
