Alexandria Black History Resource Center
Museums / Galleries, Alexandria
Fodor's Review:
Here, at the site of the Robert H. Robinson Library, a building constructed in the wake of a landmark 1939 sit-in protesting the segregation of Alexandria libraries, the history of African-Americans in Alexandria and Virginia from 1749 to the present is recounted. The federal census of 1790 recorded 52 free blacks living in the city, and Alexandria had two of the busiest slave markets in the South.
