 nProgram begins at 7:30 p.m. \nPresented by the Alexandria Historical Rest
 oration and Preservation Commission (AHRPC) and co-sponsored by the Old To
 wn Civic Association (OTCA) and the Historic Alexandria Foundation (HAF). 
 \nJoin us and learn how you can help preserve the architectural heritage o
 f your home and our historic community. Contrary to popular belief\, you c
 an preserve the historic elements of the interior and exterior of your hom
 e and still have modern amenities\, all the while taking advantage of fede
 ral\, state and local tax incentives. \nIn our designated historic distric
 ts\, the facades of homes are protected by the Building and Architectural 
 Review Board (BAR)\, but there are also ways to preserve interior aspects 
 of your home and outdoor spaces. Interior easements are available for part
 icular elements of a home such as an original fireplace mantel\, detailed 
 archways\, period moldings\, and other architectural details. Taking on su
 ch easements doesn't preclude the installation of contemporary features\, 
 such as a new kitchen or bath. Open space easements that preserve gardens\
 , historic walls or outside structures are also available. \nOn Wednesday\
 , April 19\, 2023\, a panel of experts will discuss interior\, exterior an
 d open space easements for historic homes\, the tax benefits and impacts o
 n real estate sales. Several current easement holders\, both original and 
 subsequent\, will also be available to share their experiences. A question
  and answer session will follow the panel discussion. \nThe Panel: \nAnnwy
 n Milnes\, Appraiser Supervisor\, Office of Real Estate Assessment\, City 
 of Alexandria \nMark Allen\, Real Estate Attorney \nMickey Campagna\, Real
  Estate Appraiser \nDanny Smith\, Interior/Exterior Easement Holder \nFred

  met to organize the Infirmary in December 1872. Through their efforts\, t
 ownspeople were no longer required to go to Richmond or Washington to rece
 ive hospital care. The first purpose-built hospital facility was built in 
 1917 on the 700 block of Duke Street thanks to donations funding operating
  rooms\, wards\, and other facilities. Since then\, the hospital has lead 
 the way in it has been a leader in healthcare from its nursing school to i

 th Revealed: The 1837 Case of Dorcas Allen\," Dr. Alison Mann will discuss
  a traumatic event that occurred at 1315 Duke Street in 1837 and its legal
  implications and aftermath that was the basis of her 2010 doctoral disser
 tation. In August 1837\, a Georgetown resident sold Dorcas Allen and her f
 our children to James H. Birch\, a District of Columbia slave trader. He t
 ransported them to the Duke Street pen\, and that evening Allen killed her
  two youngest children and was restrained from harming the others. In Octo
 ber\, she appeared before the District Court in Alexandria and pleaded not
  guilty by reason of insanity. Her case drew the attention of prominent wh
 ite men\, such as then-Congressman John Quincy Adams and District Attorney
  Francis Scott Key\, but remains a story largely unknown. This is story of
  African American agency in the most desperate of circumstances?when an en
 slaved mother feels death is better for her children than life in bondage.

 , enjoy a lecture/concert of music from Lafayette's lifetime performed on 
 early 19th-century instruments. Join researchers and historical-performanc
 e specialists Dominic Giardino (historical clarinets) and Dr. Chris Troian
 o (serpent) to experience the music that underscored Lafayette's French Re
 volutionary career. The Age of Revolutions (1775-1848) was a period of soc
 ial\, political\, and cultural turbulence in Europe and the Americas. Ther
 e was perhaps no greater witness to this era of dramatic change than Gilbe
 rt du Motier\, Marquis de Lafayette. This lecture/performance\, with Lafay
 ette's leadership of the Garde Nationale Parisienne as the focal point\, w
 ill transport listeners to the desperate but optimistic early days of the 
 French Revolution when music left the aristocratic great rooms of Versaill
 es and poured onto the streets of Paris. \n\nAbout the Performers\nBased i
 n Williamsburg\, VA\, historical clarinetist Dominic Giardino enjoys a var
 ied professional life exploring the intersections of history and performan
 ce. Dominic is the executive director of the Tucson-based concert series A
 rizona Early Music\, develops music programming for the Colonial Williamsb
 urg Foundation\, and is a member of Early Music America's board of directo
 rs. As a clarinetist\, he has recorded with the Smithsonian Chamber Player

 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
