Blackmon\nThis Pulitzer prize winning history details how not long after the liberation of African Americans from bondag e at the end of the Civil War\, the new citizens were forced back into inv oluntary servitude. Journalist and University of Virginia Miller Center Fo rum Chair Blackmon reveals the stories of those who fought against the use of selective enforcement of laws and discriminatory sentencing to reensla ve Black people during an "Age of Neoslavery'' brought about by the South' s exploitation of a clause in the 13th Amendment. He describes the way com panies and governments profited by "leasing" the labor of those they accus ed and convicted of petty crimes. Alexandria used such labor to repair and build streets\, alleys and sewers soon after the conservative democrats r egained control of the local government in 1873. \n\n\nLocation: See Detai ls\nFees: $125\, The book is not included in the ticket price and should b e purchased separate from a local bookstore.\nAudience: Anyone may attend\ nTags: Black History\, Black History Museum\, Equity\, Museums\n\nImport t his event into your calendar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.a spx?id=1&si=56873\n\nWeb resources:\n\nBuy Tickets Here\nhttps://shop.alex andriava.gov/Events.aspx\n DTEND:20240114T020000Z DTSTAMP:20231211T173000Z DTSTART:20240113T230000Z LOCATION:See Details SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Tables of Conscience-Slavery By Another Name TRANSP:TRANSPARENT UID:6b8276ea-a0e5-47f3-ba5e-5860a7efa02a URL:https://shop.alexandriava.gov/Events.aspx X-COA-DTSTAMP:20231211T173000Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Black History,City Council,City Council Calendar,Recreation 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=56972\n\n51st Martin Luther Kin g Jr. Memorial Program\n\nLocation: George Washington Masonic Memorial\nAu dience: Anyone may attend\nTags: Black History\, City Council\, City Counc il Calendar\, Recreation\n\nImport this event into your calendar: http://a pps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.aspx?id=1&si=56972 DTEND:20240115T230000Z DTSTAMP:20240102T144723Z DTSTART:20240115T210000Z GEO:38.807611;-77.065508 LOCATION:George Washington Masonic Memorial SEQUENCE:5 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:51st Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Program TRANSP:TRANSPARENT UID:5843d01c-55e3-4179-b822-0a8f5d46a367 X-COA-DTSTAMP:20240102T144723Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Black History,Black History Museum,Equity,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=56859\n\nAuthor and University of Virginia Professor of American Studies and History Grace Elizabeth Hale will speak to members of the Alexandria Community Remembrance Project abo ut her latest book\, Into the Pines: A Lynching\, A Lie\, A Reckoning on S aturday\, Jan. 27\, 2024 at 1 p.m. at the Lloyd House.

It is true w e no longer live with legal segregation\, but a divide between Black and w hite people still exists\, even in Alexandria. We live near each other\, b ut we generally do not have close relationships that cross the "color line " and even when we do\, the dominant white culture can cause miscommunicat ion that can generate anger. This frank\, funny book helps us understand\, and eliminate alarmingly common interactions that cause friction for both Black and white people.\n\n\n\nLocation: See Details\nFees: $125\, The bo ok is not included in the ticket price and should be purchased separate fr om a local bookstore.\nAudience: Anyone may attend\nTags: Black History\, Black History Museum\, Equity\, Museums\n\nImport this event into your cal endar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.aspx?id=1&si=56874\n\nWe b resources:\n\nBuy Tickets Here\nhttps://shop.alexandriava.gov/Events.asp x\n DTEND:20240204T010000Z DTSTAMP:20231211T173111Z DTSTART:20240203T230000Z LOCATION:See Details SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Tables of Conscience-Slavery By Another Name TRANSP:TRANSPARENT UID:2874869f-f4e3-44d3-a313-4bbefb5177d6 URL:https://shop.alexandriava.gov/Events.aspx X-COA-DTSTAMP:20231211T173111Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Black History,Community Event,Equity,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=57085\n\nA meeting of the Alexa ndria Community Remembrance Project Steering Committee\n\nLocation: Black History Museum\, 902 Wythe St.\nAudience: Anyone may attend\nTags: Black H istory\, Community Event\, Equity\, Museums\n\nImport this event into your calendar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.aspx?id=1&si=57085\n \nWeb resources:\n\nMeeting Agenda\nhttps://media.alexandriava.gov/content /oha/ACRPSteeringAgenda02062024.pdf\n DTEND:20240206T230000Z DTSTAMP:20240205T144439Z DTSTART:20240206T220000Z GEO:38.812083;-77.048042 LOCATION:Black History Museum\, 902 Wythe St. SEQUENCE:6 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:ACRP Remembrance Steering Committee TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:3d4811b3-5d46-4261-871f-e150072ea2db URL:https://media.alexandriava.gov/content/oha/ACRPSteeringAgenda02062024.p df X-COA-DTSTAMP:20240205T144439Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Black History,Black History Museum,Equity,Family,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=57151\n\nJoin Oumie for an Afro -centric story time at the Alexandria Black History Museum on the second S aturday of each month.

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.

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.
