Davis\, c urator emeritus of Home and Community Life at the National Museum of Ameri can History\, Smithsonian Institution\, shares the story of Afong Moy's tr avels in Virginia\, the District of Columbia\, and Maryland. In November 1 849\, Afong Moy\, dubbed "The Chinese Lady\," appeared at Lyceum Hall in A lexandria\, Virginia\, during a tour of the mid-Atlantic states. She had c ome to New York in 1834 and was the first recognized Chinese woman to arri ve in America. For 17 years\, she travelled across the country\, becoming the first Chinese person to receive wide public acclaim and national recog nition. In the later 1830s and 40s\, and by the time she appeared in Alexa ndria\, Afong Moy had made a transition from a promoter of goods to that o f spectacle.
