 s have extensively documented the widespread sexual exploitation and abuse

 that sexual assault of enslaved men also occurred systematically and in a

 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=30866\n\nThis year\, the staff 
 of the Historic Alexandria Museums is raising money to support the preserv
 ation of the Freedom House Museum. This National Historic Landmark\, locat
 ed at 1315 Duke Street\, was "ground zero" for the domestic slave in the C
 hesapeake region. Between 1828 and 1861\, thousands of men\, women\, and c
 hildren were sent by ship or forcibly marched to the lucrative slave marke
 ts in Natchez and New Orleans. Agents of the slave dealers purchased indiv
 iduals throughout Maryland and Virginia and brought them to the Alexandria
  Slave Pen before transport to the Deep South. The names of the enslaved c
 an be seen today on ship manifests and court records.  This year your dona
 tion will support this important national landmark by helping us create a 
 Freedom House Preservation Fund. Currently\, over 2 million dollars in fun
 ding is needed to preserve and restore this building. To be able to interp
 ret its history\, the building must be made safe and accessible for all vi
 sitors. Since so many sites related to the domestic slave trade no longer 
 exist\, it is imperative that we save this most important artifact - the b
 uilding itself! \n\n\n\nLocation: See Details\nAudience: Anyone may attend

 ike the ones Alexandrians enjoyed in the 1840s and 1850s! David Keltz\, re
 nowned for his portrayal of Edgar Allan Poe\, returns to the Alexandria Hi
 story Museum at The Lyceum to portray phrenologist Nelson Sizer. Phrenolog
 y\, the 19th-century pseudoscience in which practitioners measured and fel
 t the ridges and bumps on people's heads to determine their personality an
 d prospects\, was quite popular though also controversial in the 19th cent
 ury. The original Nelson Sizer\, with his partner P. L. Buell lectured sev
 eral times at Lyceum Hall in the 1840s\, including lecturing on "Courtship
  and Marriage." David Keltz as Mr. Sizer will present the principals of ph
 renology applicable to courtship and marriage based on 19th-century writin
 gs and will provide readings to willing participants. Attendees at the 201

 Tankersley Thursday\, October 22 at 7 p.m. via Zoom as he discusses his ne
 w book\, The Riches of This Land.\nOn a reporting journey from the rocket 
 suburbs of Los Angeles to the tobacco fields of North Carolina\, Jim Tanke
 rsley traces the origins and destiny of an American middle class that is u
 nder siege in his new book\, The Riches of This Land. For nearly two centu
 ries\, the best jobs in the United States were walled off to everyone but 
 white men. After World War II\, women\, immigrants\, and black men began t
 o tear those walls down\, helping to build the greatest middle class in hu
 man history. But the steady disappearance of good jobs\, followed by two o
 nce-in-a-lifetime economic crises\, eroded that middle class and locked mi
 llions of people out of the American Dream. History shows how to lift work
 ers up again\, but not the history that elite white men have sold for deca
 des. Tankersley's vivid people-driven storytelling\, supported by balanced
  cutting-edge research\, reveals a path to revival and the essential heroe
 s of what was\, and can again be\, a great American economy.\n\nJim Tanker
 sley is an economics reporter for the New York Times. He covers the econom
 ic policies of the Trump administration and their effects on working peopl
 e\, the long-running and persistent inequities in the American economy\, a
 nd\, most recently\, the nation's spiral into recession amid the coronavir
 us pandemic.  Prior to the Times\, Tankersley was the policy and politics 
 editor at Vox\, economic policy correspondent for the Washington Post\, an
 d economic and political reporter at the National Journal. He started his 
 career with stints at The Oregonian\, The Rocky Mountain News\, and The To
 ledo Blade. \nThe lecture is sponsored by the Office of Historic Alexandri
 a. Guests will receive an email with the Zoom meeting link\, Meeting ID\,

 st that fifty percent of whites in the United States have at least one anc
 estor who belonged to the Ku Klux Klan at some point in its history. Edwar
 d Ball\, a descendant of a Klansman\, tells the story of his ancestor. Bal
 l's great-great grandfather\, Constant Lecorgne\, had a career in white te
 rror of notable and bloody completeness: massacres\, night riding\, masked
  marches\, street rampages?all part of a tireless effort that he and other
  Klansmen made to restore white power when it was threatened by the emanci

 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=43253\n\nBeginning in 2015\, ne
 w development along Alexandria's historic shoreline triggered archaeologic
 al work in advance of construction. Project by project\, the remains of wh
 arves\, warehouses\, dwellings and houselots\, industries\, privies\, and 
 four ship hull remnants emerged from the waterlogged depths at the Potomac
  River's edge. The level of preservation under these modern City blocks wa
 s astounding - 20th century slab-built structures nearly perfectly encapsu
 lated entire remains of historic waterfront neighborhoods. This talk will 
 provide an update on the research and preservation of the ships' timbers a
 nd other archaeological finds. Even as individual features and artifact as
 semblages\, these finds are highly significant\, but when taken together a
 long with a wealth of historical documentary data\, a historic maritime la
 ndscape is taking form.\n\nDr. Eleanor Breen is a historical archaeologist
  with two decades of experience on sites in the mid-Atlantic region. As Ci
 ty Archaeologist\, Eleanor currently directs the renowned public archaeolo
 gy program and museum that preserves and interprets the buried history of 
 the City of Alexandria\, Virginia. Eleanor came aboard at an exciting time
  in the program's 40-year history as waterfront excavations yielded ships\
 , artifacts\, and features pertaining to Alexandria's maritime heritage.

 s 106 black-and-white images taken in 1985 by photographer Nina Tisara doc
 umenting fifty worship groups throughout the City of Alexandria. The image
 s provide a portrait of Alexandria's worship community at that time. Ms. T
 isara photographed worship in many different churches\, as well as synagog
 ues and a home where Buddhist monks lived and worshipped. There were no mo
 sques within the city\, so none were available to be included. Nina Tisara
  sought to document "the breadth\, variety\, and vitality of worship in th
 e city." She came to call her project Converging Paths because the experie
 nce led her to conclude that\, despite the many different paths worship ta
 kes\, "we are all kin."\n\nLocation: Lyceum\nFees: Free - Register at Alex

 , 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

 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 /

 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=57363\n\nIn "The Brutal Truth R
 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.
  Alison Mann serves as the Historian at the National Museum of American Di
 plomacy\, U.S. Department of State as a subject matter expert in the field
  of diplomatic history\, 19th century American history\, public history\, 
 and education. Proceeds from this event support Freedom House Museum.\n\nP
