City of Hope, Resurrection City and the 1968 Poor People's Campaign

This poster exhibition from the Smithsonian honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s final and most ambitious vision that each U.S. Citizen have equal access to economic opportunities and the American dream. It examines the Poor People's Campaign - a grassroots multiracial movement that drew thousands of people to Washington, D.C.  For 43 days between May and June of 1968 demonstrators demanded social reforms while living side-by-side on the National Mall in a tent city known as Resurrection City.  The Poor People's Campaign marked an important moment in U.S. history and set the stage for future social justice movements. Within months after Resurrection City's evacuation, major strides were made toward economic equality influencing school lunch programs, rent subsidies and home ownership assistance for low-income families, education and welfare services through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and more.
