Hear how the Black Family Reunion helped preserve the Wood family history

Kick off the 2024 Black Family Reunion by learning how Jason Wood, with the help of his family, was moved to donate a trove of pictures, documents, and records to the Local History/Special Collections Branch during last year's Black Family Reunion. Members of Wood's family have lived in Alexandria for many generations and helped shape the city in countless ways.
