| 释义 |
The Alexandria Black History Museum, located at 902 Wythe St., Alexandria, Virginia, is operated by the City of Alexandria. The building was formerly the Robert Robinson Library, originally constructed in 1940 as the first "separate but equal" library for African Americans in the segregated city. The city's project followed a 1939 sit-in by African Americans and arrests at the whites-only Alexandria Library. The 1939 event is commonly cited as the first non-violent protest by African Americans against racial segregation. The museum has changing exhibitions on local and national topics related to African Americans.[1] The museum also operates the Alexandria African American Heritage Park, a {{convert|9|acre|ha|adj=on}} park at 500 Holland Lane, which contains a {{convert|1|acre|ha|adj=on}} nineteenth-century African-American cemetery that was buried under a city landfill in the 1960s.[2] See also
