Talking history while sipping Pear-Rosemary Bee’s Knees.

In part two of our interview with historian and Alexandria Living Legend McArthur Myers, guest host John Taylor Chapman and McArthur continue their conversation. Picking up at the dawn of the Jim Crow era, Southern Black people saw the promise of equality under the law embodied by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution receding quickly as the “separate but equal” doctrine became the law of the land. The Alexandria area has many stories to tell from this period, and McArthur knows every one. Savor them all, as well as your delicious cocktail.
