Fayette and Queen Charles Royals

Everyone has a place they call home, a place they felt loved and wanted with family and friends. But life sometimes calls you away and when you return nothing is the same, everything has changed and people you grew up around don't even remember your name. People now living in Alexandria may not be aware of all the history they have become a part. Many of you who live in Alexandria need to read and research and not just accept what is presented to us. Alexandria has an abundance of African American history, one only need to start by looking at the number of African American churches and schools even if they appear to be located in all white neighborhoods. Many of the people that attended those institutions came from the neighborhoods associated with the people and streets of Fayette and Queen. Charles Royals
