Near the end of Black History Month, Agenda Alexandria is bringing together a panel to discuss Black Alexandrians who helped shape the history of the city.
The talk, called “Resilience and Legacy: Unveiling Alexandria’s Black History” will highlight those who struggled against slavery and Jim Crow-era discrimination.
The panel, scheduled for Monday, Feb. 26, will be moderated by Agenda Alexandria Board Member and President of the Alexandria Branch of the NAACP Darrlynn Franklin.
Panelists will include:
- Audrey Davis: director of the African American History division of the Office of Historic Alexandria

- Krystyn Moon: professor at the Department of History and American Studies at University of Mary Washington
The panel discussion will start at 7 p.m. at the Lyceum (201 S Washington Street).
