Alexandria Library Black Family Reunion

Join us on Saturday, September 19, 2026 for the fourth annual Alexandria Library Black Family Reunion. The event aims to bring neighborhoods together and help fill gaps in the documented history of Alexandria’s African American community.

Current and former residents are encouraged to bring yearbooks, photographs, old event flyers, or programs that can be digitized. Better still, attendees can simply sit down and be videotaped sharing a brief oral history.

Donate your documents early by scheduling an appointment with Library staff now! Call 703.746.1706 or email [email protected] to schedule an appointment. You can upload digital files anytime using our .

Early donors receive a free t-shirt, exclusive gift-bag, and a special early-dononr button! More information is available at alexlibraryva.org/black-family-reunion.
Like any reunion, of course it will be a party! Attendees will receive tickets for free food at a variety of food trucks, enjoy music and dancing, games for kids and adults, and free Black Family Reunion t-shirts. This community event is free and open to all.
