Lots of Alexandria is still around in Old Town. Awaiting the internet slueths to locate this location on Google Maps.
It’s now known as the Freedom House and it’s owned by the Northern Virginia Urban League a non-profit, apolitical, multi-ethnic social service group that helps PoC and marginalized communities. Freedom House it’s self has become a museum and educational tool about the horrors of slavery
They’ve also since put up a plaque in memorial of the thousands of slaves sold there.
If you’re evern in Alexandria it’s open to the public and worth checking out.

It’s weird how they just called them "slaves". Like not even servants, or workers, just slaves. I guess the word now has another connotation, I doubt a slaver today would call himself a slaver and his slaves "slaves". Just a weird thought that’s all.
