ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The Contrabands and Freedmen Cemetery Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia, stands as a solemn testament to the resilience and history of African-American communities in the region. Established in 1864 during the U.S. Civil War, this site was the final resting place for thousands of formerly enslaved individuals who sought refuge and freedom in Alexandria. Today, it serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles and triumphs of African-Americans throughout American history, offering visitors a place for reflection, remembrance, and reverence for those who paved the way for progress and equality. #TodaysAdventure #AlexandriaCityParks #MyDMV #GetOutside #OutdoorAdventures
