 cher Char McCargo Bah for a lecture and book signing of Alexandria's Freed
 men's Cemetery: A Legacy of Freedom at the Alexandria Black History Museum
 .\nAt the beginning of the Civil War\, Federal troops secured Alexandria\,
  Virginia as Union territory. Former slaves\, called contrabands\, poured 
 into Alexandria to obtain protection from their former masters. In March 1
 864\, a cemetery for African Americans opened on South Washington Street a
 s a result of high mortality rates. Between 1864 and 1868\, more than 1\,7
 00 contrabands and freedmen were buried there.\nFor nearly eighty years\, 
 the cemetery lay undisturbed and was eventually forgotten. Rediscovered in
  1996\, it has now been preserved as a monument to the courage and sacrifi
 ce of those buried within.\nDuring her talk\, Ms. Bah will focus on specif
 ic contrabands highlighted in the book and their female descendants.\nThis
  book is a must-read for historians\, genealogist and individuals who are 
 interested in the pre and post-civil war struggles of African Americans. B
 ooks will be available for purchase at the Alexandria Black History Museum
