 or emeritus of Home and Community Life at the National Museum of American 
 History\, Smithsonian Institution\, shares the story of Afong Moy's travel
 s in Virginia\, the District of Columbia\, and Maryland. In November 1849\
 , Afong Moy\, dubbed "The Chinese Lady\," appeared at Lyceum Hall in Alexa
 ndria\, Virginia\, during a tour of the mid-Atlantic states. She had come 
 to New York in 1834 and was the first recognized Chinese woman to arrive i
 n America. For 17 years\, she travelled across the country\, becoming the 
 first Chinese person to receive wide public acclaim and national recogniti
 on. In the later 1830s and 40s\, and by the time she appeared in Alexandri
 a\, Afong Moy had made a transition from a promoter of goods to that of sp
 ectacle. Tickets are $10 to attend in person and $6 to watch the lecture l

 hance to view the special exhibition "Alexandria Hospital: Women Mobilize 
 the Community\," closing March 31. Health care in Alexandria took a big st
 ep forward when a dynamic group of Alexandria women led by Julia Johns met
  to organize the Infirmary in December 1872. Through their efforts\, towns
 people were no longer required to go to Richmond or Washington to receive 
 hospital care. The first purpose-built hospital facility was built in 1917
  on the 700 block of Duke Street thanks to donations funding operating roo
 ms\, wards\, and other facilities. Since then\, the hospital has lead the 
 way in it has been a leader in healthcare from its nursing school to its o
 ncology program. \n\nLocation: Lyceum\nFees: Museum admission: $3 adults /

 evealed: The 1837 Case of Dorcas Allen\," Dr. Alison Mann will discuss a t
 raumatic event that occurred at 1315 Duke Street in 1837 and its legal imp
 lications and aftermath that was the basis of her 2010 doctoral dissertati
 on. In August 1837\, a Georgetown resident sold Dorcas Allen and her four 
 children to James H. Birch\, a District of Columbia slave trader. He trans
 ported them to the Duke Street pen\, and that evening Allen killed her two
  youngest children and was restrained from harming the others. In October\
 , she appeared before the District Court in Alexandria and pleaded not gui
 lty by reason of insanity. Her case drew the attention of prominent white 
 men\, such as then-Congressman John Quincy Adams and District Attorney Fra
 ncis Scott Key\, but remains a story largely unknown. This is story of Afr
 ican American agency in the most desperate of circumstances?when an enslav
 ed mother feels death is better for her children than life in bondage. Dr.

  de la Garde Nationale Parisienne \n\nIn commemoration of the 250th annive
 rsary of the Marquis de Lafayette's 1824-25 tour of the United States\, en
 joy a lecture/concert of music from Lafayette's lifetime performed on earl
 y 19th-century instruments. Join researchers and historical-performance sp
 ecialists Dominic Giardino (historical clarinets) and Dr. Chris Troiano (s
 erpent) to experience the music that underscored Lafayette's French Revolu
 tionary career. The Age of Revolutions (1775-1848) was a period of social\
 , political\, and cultural turbulence in Europe and the Americas. There wa
 s perhaps no greater witness to this era of dramatic change than Gilbert d
 u Motier\, Marquis de Lafayette. This lecture/performance\, with Lafayette
 's leadership of the Garde Nationale Parisienne as the focal point\, will 
 transport listeners to the desperate but optimistic early days of the Fren
 ch Revolution when music left the aristocratic great rooms of Versailles a
 nd poured onto the streets of Paris. \n\nAbout the Performers\nBased in Wi
 lliamsburg\, VA\, historical clarinetist Dominic Giardino enjoys a varied 
 professional life exploring the intersections of history and performance. 
 Dominic is the executive director of the Tucson-based concert series Arizo
 na Early Music\, develops music programming for the Colonial Williamsburg 
 Foundation\, and is a member of Early Music America's board of directors. 
 As a clarinetist\, he has recorded with the Smithsonian Chamber Players\, 
 Three Notch'd Road: The Virginia Baroque Ensemble\, and Newberry's Victori
 an Cornet Band. Dominic earned his B.M. in performance at the Eastman Scho
 ol of Music\, and his M.M. in early music as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar in T
 he Hague\, where he studied with Eric Hoeprich.\n\nDr. Chris Troiano is th
 e Historical Ensembles Program Manager at George Mason University in Fairf
 ax\, VA and is the Program Director of the 8th Green Machine Regiment Band
 \, a mid-19th century brass band that performs music of the American Civil
  War on period brass instruments. Chris is also the co-host of the Early A
 merican Brass Band Podcast\, a podcast focusing on sharing research and pe
 rformances of brass bands from 1835-2023. Chris' primary instrumental focu
 s is low brass and he is an active teacher and performer on euphonium\, ba
 ritone\, trombone\, ophicleide\, and military serpent. \n\n\n\nLocation: L

 ffic\, Slave Trading in the Civil War South\n\nFrom Fort Sumter to Appomat
 tox\, Confederates bought and sold thousands of men\, women\, and children
  through a surviving trade in slaves. Even though the war destroyed the co
 tton economy that had long underpinned American slavery and fueled the sla
 ve trade\, Confederates used slave commerce to shape their experiences of 
 the war\, whether to help them mobilize for the conflict or to weather the
  numerous crises it created. Some speculated wildly in human property to w
 ard off inflation or to buy shares in the slaveholding future for which th
 ey fought. Still others traded people to keep them from achieving the free
 dom the war offered. For those held in slavery\, meanwhile\, the surviving
  slave trade dramatically shaped the ways in which they encountered libert
 y\, yanking many back into bondage while inspiring others to risk flight. 
 \n\nDr. Robert Colby is an assistant professor at the University of Missis
 sippi and is the author of An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civil W
 ar South. Proceeds from the event support Freedom House Museum.\n\n\nLocat
