This month&#39;s Racial Equity discussion will feature two special guests: Audrey Davis, the director of Alexandria’s Black History Museum and Tiffany Pache, the coordinator of the Alexandria Community Remembrance Project. Both were instrumental in spearheading Alexandria&#39;s recent pilgrimage to Montgomery, Alabama to visit the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. At that site is a pillar that recognizes two lynchings that took place in our city in the late 1890s but were not known about until recently. The five-year process that led to this trip was remarkable--and the work and reckoning continues. The city has made a commitment to recognize victims Joseph McCoy and Benjamin Thomas. Audrey and Tiffany will share powerful stories from the recent pilgrimage and discuss the continued work of the initiative.<br /><br />SPONSOR: At Home In Alexandria<br />REGISTRATION: Registration is required by Nov. 16.
