Join us as we take a self-guided tour together of the Alexandria Black History Museum on Sunday, February 15th. We'll explore all the museum has to offer followed by a group discussion on how housing policies have shaped and been shaped by the Black experience in Alexandria. This event offers a chance to learn about the long‑standing intersections of racial justice, community development, and the fight for fair, inclusive neighborhoods.

You'll get to meet neighbors who care about building a more inclusive and affordable city and be part of a conversation about how our past informs the future we want to build together.
