68 2 98
It's been nearly four decades since Martin Luther King's assassination sparked riots in Washington, D.C., and parts of the nation's capital are still trying to recover from the impact of the violence. While some speak of a city renaissance, others are unsure whether the district will ever fully recover. Join in for a screening and discussion of the film "14th Street Freestyle 68 2 98." The film, a retrospective documentary, written, produced and directed by DC youth, done thirty years after the 1968 rebellion that occurred here in the district, during the aftermath of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This event is free and open to the public.
When: Wednesday, April 5, at 8 p.m. Where: Busboys and Poets (2021 14th St. NW)
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
