Family Legends
We're excited to report planning for a new facet of Living Legends--Family Legends. Members of the Living Legends Board will meet with folks from Archaeology, Black History Museum, the Athenaeum, Alexandria City Schools and artist Sushmita Mazumdar to plan the project which will involve young people in photographing and writing stories about the Legends in their families. The project may culminate in a one-of-a-kind handbook and/or news feature.
