 toric Alexandria and SmithGroup for the final presentation on the Comprehe
 nsive Planning process for the Freedom House Museum at 1315 Duke Street. T
 he final report will be posted online in the coming weeks.\n\nThe Freedom 
 House Museum\, located at 1315 Duke Street\, occupies part of a historic c
 omplex once used for trafficking thousands of Black men\, women\, and chil
 dren from 1828 to 1861. Operated in partnership with the Urban League of N
 orthern Virginia\, the Office of Historic Alexandria began assisting with 
 museum operations in February 2018\, eventually purchasing the building in
  2020. After reopening in May 2022 with three floors of temporary exhibits
 \, the next step involved crafting a Comprehensive Plan.\n\nThe Office of 
 Historic Alexandria\, in close collaboration with the community and stakeh
 olders\, has embarked on the development of this Comprehensive Plan. This 
 strategic document will chart the course for the future use\, interpretati
 on\, and preservation of the Freedom House Museum site.\n\nFor additional

 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=57403\n\nLecture: An Unholy Tra
 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
