 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
