CITY OF HOPE
City of Hope: Resurrection City and the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign honors Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr.’s daring vision for economic justice and opportunity for every U.S. citizen. The
poster exhibition examines the Poor People’s Campaign—a grassroots, multiracial movement
that drew thousands of people to Washington, D.C. For 43 days between May and June 1968,
demonstrators demanded social reforms while living side-by-side on the National Mall in a tent
city known as Resurrection City. City of Hope: Resurrection City and the 1968 Poor People's
Campaign is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in
collaboration with the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
