This center interprets the contributions of African-Americans to
Alexandria's history and culture from 1749 to the present. The Alexandria Black History Resource Center is located in the Parker-Gray district of the city. Staff and volunteers from citizen organizations interpret the contributions of African-Americans to Alexandria's history and culture. The building that today houses the center was constructed in 1940 as the Robinson Library, the African American community's first public library. With desegregation in the 1960s, the building was converted to use for community service programs. A guided tour is offered.
