African-Americans in Alexandria |
638 North Alfred Street Washington DC, VA 22314 +1 703 838 4356 |
This center tracks the history of African-Americans in the Alexandria community from 1749 to the present. The small town, near the North-South line, is a fascinating microcosm of the larger trends that impacted the black community in the US. Literature and exhibits celebrate the contributions made by African-Americans to Alexandria. The building that houses the center was the first library for the black community, established in 1940. Today, it offers a non-circulating research facility, the Watson Reading Room and it regularly features lectures, exhibitions and special events. Review © 2009, Wcities |
