Visit our new exhibition\, learn about the life of World War I soldiers from re-enactors with living-history dis plays\, and enjoy refreshments including authentic World War I trench cake . The First World War - usually called "The Great War" before there was a World War Two - was unlike any other armed conflict in human history. Euro pean armies sustained massive casualties during the first few years of the war with extensive trench lines along the Western Front offering scant pr otection from unprecedented artillery barrages\, machine guns\, and poison gas. Overall\, there were eight million and a half deaths and nearly thre e times that many wounded. "Alexandrians Fight the Great War" tells some o f the stories of Alexandrians who served during World War I - their feelin gs about this nearly incomprehensible world tragedy\, their early efforts to help\, and their more active participation in the war effort after Amer ica entered the war in April\, 1917.\n\nLocation: Lyceum\nContact Phone: 7 03.746.4726\nFees: Free\, but reservations are encouraged.\nAudience: Anyo ne may attend\nTags: Lyceum\n\nImport this event into your calendar: http: //apps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.aspx?id=1&si=16969\n\nWeb resources: \n\nhttps://shop.alexandriava.gov\n DTEND:20171110T003000Z DTSTAMP:20171106T194647Z DTSTART:20171109T223000Z LOCATION:Lyceum SEQUENCE:5 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening-Alexandrians Fight the Great War TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:c88dfb85-bf5d-40b0-bee1-3ecd112e3fd7 URL:https://shop.alexandriava.gov X-COA-DTSTAMP:20171106T194647Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Lecture,Museums,Sister Cities 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=17108\n\nA high-level introduct ion into how a closely neighboring culture views the humble comic book in a completely different way.About the Speaker: RM Rhodes has a day job and lives in Arlington\, but he would prefer to be known as a comics creator a nd historian.

Three hundred remark able women known as "The Hello Girls" were selected to operate the vital c ommunications network that helped the Allies win. Each came from a differ ent geographic and economic background\, but they were united in their fie rce patriotism and determination to prove that women had a role to play on the war front\, not just the home front. For the first time in U.S. histo ry\, at General John Pershing's urging\, a handful of women volunteered\, too\, specially qualified to operate the most advanced communications tech nology of the day: the telephone switchboard. And while WWI ended some 18 months later for those first female soldiers\, their battle for recognitio n as military veterans continued for six long decades. In time for the cen tennial of WWI\, acclaimed historian and author Elizabeth Cobbs\, Ph.D.\, has written the defining account of the first women to serve in the U.S. A rmy Signal Corps.

The girls and women of the WLAA\, also known a s Farmerettes\, shocked American society\, as they were paid equally with male farm laborers\, worked eight-hour days - and wore pants. Eventually\, Farmerettes would work on family farms in orchards in 25 states\, includi ng Virginia. A very diverse group of Virginia females participated in the state's WLAA\; in Loudoun County\, Girl Scouts sorted fruit at Blue Mounta in Peaches. Students at Hollins College (now Hollins University) and Rando lph-Macon Women's College (now Randolph College) worked on local farms. Ri chmond socialites donated money to the cause and even signed up to attend the training camp established at the University of Virginia in the summer of 1919. These women\, and other Farmerettes around the country inspired H ollywood films\, poems\, songs\, and plays.

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.

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.
