And so he set sail aboard the Calypso to see the sea. He and his team of scie ntists invented diving equipment and waterproof cameras. They made films a nd television shows and wrote books so they could share what they learned. The oceans were a vast unexplored world\, and Cousteau became our guide. And when he saw that pollution was taking its toll on the seas\, Cousteau became our guide in how to protect the oceans as well." \n\nLocation: B lack History Museum\, 902 Wythe St.\nAudience: Anyone may attend\nTags: Bl ack History Museum\, Museums\, Parker Gray\n\nImport this event into your calendar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.aspx?id=1&si=26199 DTEND:20190505T030000Z DTSTAMP:20190501T195457Z DTSTART:20190504T150000Z GEO:38.812083;-77.048042 LOCATION:Black History Museum\, 902 Wythe St. SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Story Time for Little Historians TRANSP:TRANSPARENT UID:f497d2d4-803e-4651-8389-2922666b84a8 X-COA-DTSTAMP:20190501T195457Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Black History Museum,Museums DESCRIPTION:To make sure the time\, location\, and other aspects have not c hanged\, or to share this event with your friends\, please see https://app s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=26105\n\nSee a powerful exhibit in the basement of the building\, which was once part of a larger complex used by the slave trading firm Franklin and Armfield.
