  Historic Alexandria and SmithGroup for the final presentation on the Comp
 rehensive Planning process for the Freedom House Museum at 1315 Duke Stree
 t. The final report will be posted online in the coming weeks.\n\nThe Free
 dom House Museum\, located at 1315 Duke Street\, occupies part of a histor
 ic complex once used for trafficking thousands of Black men\, women\, and 
 children from 1828 to 1861. Operated in partnership with the Urban League 
 of Northern Virginia\, the Office of Historic Alexandria began assisting w
 ith museum operations in February 2018\, eventually purchasing the buildin
 g in 2020. After reopening in May 2022 with three floors of temporary exhi
 bits\, the next step involved crafting a Comprehensive Plan.\n\nThe Office
  of Historic Alexandria\, in close collaboration with the community and st
 akeholders\, has embarked on the development of this Comprehensive Plan. T
 his strategic document will chart the course for the future use\, interpre
 tation\, and preservation of the Freedom House Museum site.\n\nFor additio

 s.alexandriava.gov/CalendarTest/Detail.aspx?si=57403\n\nLecture: An Unholy
  Traffic\, Slave Trading in the Civil War South\n\nFrom Fort Sumter to App
 omattox\, Confederates bought and sold thousands of men\, women\, and chil
 dren through a surviving trade in slaves. Even though the war destroyed th
 e cotton economy that had long underpinned American slavery and fueled the
  slave 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 ward off inflation or to buy shares in the slaveholding future for whic
 h they fought. Still others traded people to keep them from achieving the 
 freedom the war offered. For those held in slavery\, meanwhile\, the survi
 ving slave trade dramatically shaped the ways in which they encountered li
 berty\, yanking many back into bondage while inspiring others to risk flig
 ht. \n\nDr. Robert Colby is an assistant professor at the University of Mi
 ssissippi and is the author of An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civ
 il War South. Proceeds from the event support Freedom House Museum.\n\n\nL
