#dc1968 countdown begins today!

happy new year!!!  

We're starting off the new year with the launch of #dc1968 | a curated project commemorating the upcoming 50th anniversary of 1968 in Washington, DC, in 2018.

During 2017, we invite you to help curate #dc1968.  What's our goal?  To highlight individuals, organizations, events and ideas that made Washington, DC in 1968 such a momentous year.  How will we do it?   By highlighting something new each day in 2018 that corresponds to that day in 1968.

We need your help!  Share your memories and photographs.  Tell us what has to be included!

You can upload memories here. 

We thank you for participating.  As we close out 2016 and begin anew for 2017, we think that it is critical to reflect upon 1968 | a momentous year locally, nationally and globally.
