2018.05.15 DC1968 Workshop, DCHistory, Washington, DC USA 02345
Diaries of Gerard "G.I." Sawyer from April 1968 - "G.I." Sawyer,designed many of Washington's landmark bridges and tunnels as the District's chief bridge engineer, including the Dupont Circle tunnel and the never-built three-sisters bridge.
2018 marks 50 years since Washington, D.C., and many other urban areas around the nation exploded in civil disturbances in the wake of the assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But as noted at the 2017 D.C. History Conference, D.C. in 1968 was about much more than the civil disturbances.
The workshop serves as an introduction to resources relating to many aspects of life in Washington, D.C. in 1968, including local activist movements, experiments in community-advised policing, and developments in art and architecture.
