Resurrection City: Poor People’s Campaign. From May 15 to June 24, 1968, anti-poverty activists from all over the country, occupied, and lived on, the National Mall just south of the Reflecting Pool between the Lincoln Memorial and what is now, the World War II Memorial in D.C.
For 41 days, Resurrection City was its own town. It had a barber shop, a city hall, a mess tent, a day care — even its own ZIP code. At its height, about 2,700 people lived in the wood-and-canvas tents.
Dr. King was assassinated on April 4th, 1968. However, his vision for the Poor People’s Campaign continued to live, even after his death. This series of photographs are a true testament of our resilience and commitment to one another. Let’s continue that tradition and do our part at the polls this election.
I don’t like the term “self care” bc its so removed from my personal experiences. When I buy soap or take luxurious baths or buy a new sweater or indulge in literally anything the only thing im doing is pretending to be the rich old lady from aristocats
a mac app called helium that puts Netflix in a tiny floating window on your screen that you can make translucent and also click through, so you can watch tv and surf the web at the same time, it’s great
(That’s more see through than I like but this way it shows up in the picture)
love galore
