Lecture: Making Arlandria Home

Title:Lecture: Making Arlandria Home
Date & Time:Wed Sep 28, 2016 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Location:Lyceum
201 S. Washington St.
Event Details:The breakdown of structural racism combined with American Cold War policies created major demographic changes in Alexandria by the mid-to-late 20th century. One neighborhood in particular, Arlandria, saw multiple changes, shifting from mostly white-only housing to becoming home to immigrants from all over the world. This talk explores the forces that led to these population shifts, their impact on Alexandria, and the experiences of immigrants who made Arlandria their home from the 1960’s through the 1980’s.
