 blic meeting on Saturday\, July 31 at 10-11:30 am in the City of Alexandri
 a's Fort Ward Park to discuss marking\, protection and recognition of key 
 cemetery areas and burial sites related to the African American Fort commu
 nity.  Join City staff from the Office of Historic Alexandria who will lea
 d a discussion on issues and ideas for demarcating and memorializing these
  sacred areas.  Attendees will meet City staff in the parking lot behind F
 ort Ward Museum\, and walk to the four major burial sites.  In the event o
 f rain\, the meeting will be held in the reception hall at Oakland Baptist
  Church\, 3408 King Street\, Alexandria.\n\nFort Ward Park's cemetery area
 s and burial sites are associated with the post-Civil War African American
  community known as "The Fort\," which developed on the grounds and vicini
 ty of the present-day Park beginning in the 1870s.  The sites that are the
  focus of discussion are: The Old Grave Yard\, established at least by 189
 7\; the Adams family burial site\, which includes the grave of community m
 atriarch Clara Adams\; the Clark family burial site\; and the Jackson Ceme
 tery\, established on land purchased by Fort resident James Jackson in 188
 4 that was once part of the earlier Civil War Union fort.  City archaeolog
 ists and historians will lead discussions at each area that provide contex
 t and considerations for possible demarcation of some sites\, preservation
  issues\, and additional approaches to memorialization.  Public feedback w
 ill be gathered for implementing long-term approaches to care and recognit
 ion of these sacred historical areas.\n\n\nLocation: Fort Ward Museum\, 43
