From the DC Council:
“In commemoration of the District’s 51st year of Home Rule government, the DC Council will convene a panel discussion of key figures from the critical eight years (1967-1975) when our local government transitioned twice between three entirely different forms of government. We are lucky enough to hear about our history from the people who made history through their work.
Questions to reflect on: What is it like to create a new form of government from scratch? How do you run a government in its infancy? How do you shut down a defunct form of government? And what lessons from those early days carry through to the unique challenges we are facing today?
Who: Open to the public, all are invited to attend
When: Thursday, March 26 at 5:30PM
Where: Council Chambers, 5th Floor, John A. Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
