Caption CAMP ALEXANDER Camp Alexander was created from a portion of Camp Hill between Warwick and Jefferson Avenues on Aug. 15, 1918. Part of the Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation, it quartered Black stevedore regiments and labor battalions. Named for 2nd Lt. John Hawks Alexander, U.S. Army. Graduating in 1887, he was the second Black graduate of West Point. He served with the 9th Cavalry on the frontier, then as Prof. of Military Science at Wilberforce University.
