 s.alexandriava.gov/CalendarTest/Detail.aspx?si=50570\n\nThe Office of Hist
 oric Alexandria (OHA) and the African American Heritage Trail Committee (A
 AHTC) invite you to an open house to celebrate the launch of the new south
 ern route of the African American Waterfront Heritage Trail! The event is 
 free\, but registration is requested.\n\nLearn more about history along th
 e waterfront as we recreate a sample of the stops along the trail inside t
 he Lyceum. Enjoy an opportunity to "talk history" with members of the AAHT
 C. Each stop highlights the importance of Black history in Alexandria\, wh
 at archaeological and historical research and reveal about the past\, and 
 the impacts of community history initiatives like this one. Prominent and 
 lesser known stories of African American people\, places\, and neighborhoo
 ds from the time of Alexandria's founding through the 20th century will be
  featured. Remarks begin at 11:00 a.m. Light refreshments will be served. 
 \n\nThe African American Waterfront Heritage Trails illuminate the history
  of the African American community over a span of centuries. These trails 
 highlight the contributions of Black Alexandrians\, free and enslaved\, to
  the history of Alexandria's waterfront. The South Trail Route consists of
  19 stops and is the second in a series of trails covering the waterfront.
  The North Trail Route\, launched in 2021\, includes 11 stops. Together th
 e two trails span a little over three miles from Montgomery St. to the sou
 th end of Jones Point Park. The trails can be experienced on a computer or
  as a StoryMap on a smartphone as you walk the trails along the Potomac Ri
 ver. The African American Waterfront Heritage Trail Committee is made up o
 f volunteer community members and historians and is supported by staff fro
 m the Alexandria Black History Museum and Alexandria Archaeology.  \n\nPar

 , near Tenleytown\, an important chapter in the history of Washington's D.
 C.'s Black community is barely visible to the modern-day visitor. Fort Ren
 o was a bustling neighborhood in which men\, women\, and children lived\, 
 died\, loved\, worked\, worshipped\, and played. Brian Taylor (author of F
 ighting for Citizenship [UNC Press\, 2020])\, Miriam Gusevich (Catholic Un
 iversity) and Martin Paddack (Howard University) will share their work on 
 the history of the Fort Reno neighborhood and their efforts to bring this 
 history to the public. It builds on Brian Taylor's "On the Fort": The Fort
  Reno Community of Washington\, D.C.\, 1861-1951\, the official National P
 ark Service Report and benefits from Gusevich's expertise in urban design 
 and Paddack's work in the field of architecture.\n\nAt this time\, capacit

 By Another Name\, the Reenslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War 
 to World War II\, By Douglas A. Blackmon\nThis Pulitzer prize winning hist
 ory details how not long after the liberation of African Americans from bo
 ndage at the end of the Civil War\, the new citizens were forced back into
  involuntary servitude. Journalist and University of Virginia Miller Cente
 r Forum Chair Blackmon reveals the stories of those who fought against the
  use of selective enforcement of laws and discriminatory sentencing to ree
 nslave Black people during an "Age of Neoslavery'' brought about by the So
 uth's exploitation of a clause in the 13th Amendment. He describes the way
  companies and governments profited by "leasing" the labor of those they a
 ccused and convicted of petty crimes. Alexandria used such labor to repair
  and build streets\, alleys and sewers soon after the conservative democra
 ts regained control of the local government in 1873. \n\n\nLocation: See D

  Little Things\, Everyday Interactions that Anger\, Annoy and Divide the R
 aces\, By Lena Williams\nDescribed as a "sounding board for Blacks and whi
 tes concerned with bridging the racial divide\," New York Times Journalist
  Lena Williams book is sometimes amusing and other times pointed. It is tr
 ue we no longer live with legal segregation\, but a divide between Black a
 nd white people still exists\, even in Alexandria. We live near each other
 \, but we generally do not have close relationships that cross the "color 
 line" and even when we do\, the dominant white culture can cause miscommun
 ication that can generate anger. This frank\, funny book helps us understa
 nd\, and eliminate alarmingly common interactions that cause friction for 
 both Black and white people.\n\n\n\nLocation: See Details\nFees: $125\, Th

  That Has Never Been Told: Slavery and American Capitalism\, by Edward E. 
 Baptist.\nEdward Baptist puts slavery at the very center of this nation's 
 political and economic past. Deemed a "radical new interpretation of histo
 ry" this award winning book details how slavery grew the United States int
 o a modern\, industrial\, capitalist nation. "In the span of a single life
 time\, the South grew from a  narrow coastal strip of worn-out tobacco pla
 ntations to a continental cotton empire." In the process of telling this s
 tory\, Baptist humanizes those enslaved and shares the truth about the bru
 tality they faced through the testimonies of survivors\, politicians and e
 ntrepreneurs as well as plantation records and newspapers.\n\nPlease note
