Celebrating Ruby Tucker Day
Children played in the moon bounce as volunteers served up lunch and treats for the residents of the Hopkins-Tancil Courts in Old Town on Saturday afternoon, June 28. The annual festival featured children from the youth center reciting their published poetry, a result of the collaboration between ARHA’s Ruby Tucker Center and the Dreamdog Foundation. The book of poetry “Hope” may be purchased at ARHA’s main office at 600 North Fairfax Street.
Ruby Tucker was an inspiration to many in Alexandria because of her fight for affordable housing for the African American community. Tucker had served on the ARHA Board.
