The second-annual event reconnecting with each other, preserving our past, and strengthening our community.
Alexandria Library is hosting its second annual Black Family Reunion on Saturday, September 14, 2024. The event, at the Barrett Branch Library in Old Town, aims to bring neighborhoods together and help fill gaps in the documented history of Alexandria’s African American community.
African American families are invited to bring documents and images to be scanned and added to the Library’s Local History/Special Collections archive and preserved as part of the City’s historical record.
The event will feature music, games, food trucks, and more. Guests who bring a picture of people or places that have to do with Alexandria's black neighborhoods will receive a ticket for a free meal and dessert.
More information about donating can be found at alexlibraryva.org/black-family-reunion.
