City of Hope Exhibit held over

A Smithsonian poster exhibit in the Museum of Anthropology on the first floor of College Hall, Pullman campus, – City of Hope: Resurrection City and the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign – has been held over for Spring Semester.

By the 1960s growing social inequalities and unequal access to opportunities had left many Americans struggling. In the late 1960s, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph David Abernathy, organized a Poor People’s Campaign to confront poverty as a national human rights issue. After Dr. King was assassinated in April 1968, the SCLC established Resurrection City, a six-week, live-in demonstration on the National Mall in May and June 1968 in Washington, D.C.

The Museum is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and admission is free.
