SUMMARY:Webinar: Memorializing the Enslaved of Arlington
DESCRIPTION:The lives of Margaret Hyson and her children George and Charlotte – three people enslaved in what is now the Yorktown neighborhood in the 1800s – had previously been unknown. But now\, this family’s story will be told to a broader community. Through a partnership between the Arlington Historical Society and the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington\, stumbling stones\, six-inch round bronze plaques\, engraved with their names and dates of their births and deaths\, have been embedded into the sidewalks near the locations where they were enslaved. Many more stumbling stones will be installed throughout the county. Currently\, the names of 1\,100 enslaved individuals have been identified. \nJoin us as Jessica Kaplan of the Arlington Historical Society tells us about the origin of this initiative\, the research being done\, the work of Arlington Tech students to recreate some of the plaques\, the response of the community and where to find already embedded stumbling stones.   \nAdvance registration is not required\, and this free event is open to all. You may be prompted to enter your name and email address before being admitted to the webinar. Please know that we do not share your information\, and we adhere to the library’s privacy policy: https://encorelearning.net/privacy-policy/  \n  \nThis is an Encore Learning Presents event\, co-sponsored with the Arlington Public Library.  Connect to the presentation online via Zoom:  \n https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84268052749 \nOr dial in by phone (for audio only): 301-715-8592Meeting ID: 842 6805 2749 \nThis event does not require registration.

SUMMARY:Mt. Olivet Cemetery Tour
DESCRIPTION:The cemetery of the oldest church in the county is a museum with no walls. Each of the interred has a story and AHS is partnering with Mt. Olivert United Methodist Church to portray key figures buried in the cemetery. This tour is an opportunity to pause and reflect on the rich history of Arlington\, the perseverance of our forebears\, and the preserved beauty of this piece of land. Learn about the tussle over land that the church resolved\, the role the church played during the Civil War\, and key people who were some of Arlington’s early residents\, from enslavers to heroes and entrepreneurs. \nThis event begins with an overview of the history of the church\, an introduction to role of slavery in the county\, and the Civil War and its impact on the church. Light refreshments will be served during the presentation\, courtesy Mt. Olivet Church. \nThen go into the cemetery and meet some of the interred. AHS and Mt. Olivet volunteers will portray some of those who are buried in the cemetery and introduce you to some well known and not-so-well-known Arlingtonians. Tombstone rubbings and scavenger hunt for the children makes this a perfect family Sunday afternoon outing. \n

SUMMARY:The Metro and Its Impact on Arlington
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome author and historian Dr. Zachary Schrag for a discussion of the development of the Metro and its impact on Arlington. He is the author of “The Great Society Subway: A History of the Washington Metro.” \nDr. Schrag scrutinizes the project from its earliest days and will focus on Arlington\, its general planning\, routes\, station architecture\, funding decisions\, land-use impacts\, and the behavior of Metro riders. The story of the Great Society Subway sheds light on the development of metropolitan Washington\, postwar urban policy\, and Arlington economy and housing. \nMany rely on the Washington Metro\, the 130-mile rapid transit system DC and its inner suburbs. In the first comprehensive history of the Metro\, Dr. Schrag tells the story of the Great Society Subway from its earliest rumblings to the present day. Unlike the pre–World War II rail systems of New York\, Chicago\, and Philadelphia\, the Metro was built at a time when most American families already owned cars\, and when most American cities had dedicated themselves to freeways\, not subways. Why did the nation’s capital take a different path? What were the consequences of that decision? \nUsing extensive archival research as well as oral history\, Dr. Schrag argues that the Metro can be understood only in the political context from which it was born: the Great Society liberalism of the Kennedy\, Johnson\, and Nixon administrations. The Metro emerged from a period when Americans believed in public investments suited to the grandeur and dignity of the world’s richest nation. The Metro was built not merely to move commuters\, but in the words of Lyndon Johnson\, to create “a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community.” \nDr. Zachary Schrag is a professor of history at George Mason University and specializes in the study of cities\, technology\, and public policy in the US. He is the author of four books and multiple articles in scholarly journals including the Journal of Policy History\, the Journal of Urban History\, Rethinking History\, Technology and Culture\, and Washington History. His essays have appeared in the American Historian\, the Journal of American History\, Politico\, Slate\, the Washington Monthly\, and the Washington Post. \nHis book “The Great Society Subway: A History of the Washington Metro” will be on sale at the event or you can buy yours early at the museum store or at the AHS online store (allow for shipping time!)  \nThis event will be in-person and via Zoom. \nPREREGISTER FOR ZOOM ACCESS.

SUMMARY:Memorializing the Enslaved of Arlington: Dedication of Stumbling Stones
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we commemorate the lives of Con and Killemasce\, who were enslaved by John Hurst in the 1760s. \nSince the late 1700s\, African Americans made important contributions to the development of Arlington County. Until recently\, histories of Arlington often excluded or misrepresented their stories. \nMemorializing the Enslaved in Arlington (MEA)\, a project sponsored by the Arlington Historical Society and the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington\, brings our county’s African American history to light. Research into local records uncovers the brutal truth of enslavement in Arlington and the human cost for all involved. Most importantly\, it reveals the fortitude and resilience of the local enslaved community. \nMEA honors the lives and contributions of Arlington’s once enslaved people by placing memorial plaques throughout the county at sites of enslavement. \nLearn more about this project and its findings at: https://arlhist.org/enslavement/

SUMMARY:Around the Hearth: An Original Play about the Ball-Sellers House
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading of an original play about the oldest structure in the county\, the Ball-Sellers House\, a farmhouse built around 1750.

SUMMARY:Neighbors in Arms:  The Fairfax Muster
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Ball-Sellers House as we rediscover how\, 250 years ago\, the Fairfax militia prepared to fight the British. \n\nHistory Spotlight at 2:00. Local historian Kevin Vincent will give a brief talk about the muster\, who from what is now Arlington would have served in it\, what they were called to do\, and what its historical significance is to the founding of our country.\nReenactors will show you how the militia would have dressed\, lived\, and prepared to protect Virginia against British attack.\nMeet the muster clerk and sign up for duty protecting Alexandria and the county against the British crown.\nCamp followers\, the wives\, mothers\, and sisters\, who followed the militia will show you the tools they used and the conditions they worked under to help feed\, clothe\, and take care of the men.\n\nWhen the Assembly of Virginia met in July 1775\, after being disbanded in 1774 by Governor Lord Dunmore\, the first law Virginians passed was “An Ordinance for Raising and Embodying a Sufficient Force for the Defense and Protection of the Colony.” It authorized forming Continental regiments\, minute men battalions\, and the county militia. The law made militia duty mandatory for all free men\, hired servants\, and apprentices between the ages of 16 and 50. In each county the Committee of Safety was to commission officers\, a Colonel\, a Lieutenant Colonel\, and a Major to lead the men. Once formed\, the commissioned officers would name a Captain\, a Lieutenant\, and an Ensign. Government officials\, clergymen\, and professors were exempt from militia duty. The Fairfax militia included men from what is now Arlington and protected all of Northern Virginia.
