Councilor John Chapman joins the Alexandria Times’ podcast, Speak Easy, this month to talk about his involvement in the city’s civic life.
A fourth generation Alexandrian and member of city council, Chapman’s role in Alexandria goes far beyond his time in local politics.
Chapman sat down with Times reporter Cody Mello-Klein to talk about his work uncovering the city’s Black history for Manumission Tour Company, the current state of race relations in Alexandria and how his upbringing inspired him to get involved in politics.
