SUMMARY:Benjamin Franklin\, Rattlesnakes\, & Pepe the Frog: Memes in American Politics
DESCRIPTION:Memes—images that spread quickly through large groups—are a central part of internet culture. Not only have they have been instrumental in the rise of social media\, they also have had a major influence on American political discourse. According to leading media expert Dr. Joan Donovan\, memes mirror the behavior of flags and broadsides of the American Revolution\, including Benjamin Franklin’s ubiquitous Join or Die engraving and the iconic Gadsden Flag.

SUMMARY:Rainbow Pride D.C. Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Few social groups have made such rapid strides in equality as the LGBTQ community during the fifty years following the Stonewall uprising. Leading up to and beyond that seminal moment\, D.C.’s own courageous men and women made invaluable contributions to the cultural and social history of the nation’s capital: \nWalt Whitman celebrated “the love of comrades” in his groundbreaking poetry and his intimate relationship with Pete Doyle in the 1860’s. \nGeorgia Douglas Johnson hosted Saturday Night salons in the 1920’s that nurtured Harlem Renaissance luminaries Langston Hughes and Richard Bruce Nugent. \nFrank Kameny protested federal employment discrimination in the 1960’s and campaigned for Congress on a “Gay is Good” platform. \nThe Gay Liberation Front of the 1970’s provided communal housing for activists. \nFollowing Stonewall\, Deacon Maccubbin founded Lambda Rising bookstore and the city’s first Gay Pride festival. \nSee the sites associated with these figures and events while walking through the Dupont Circle and Strivers Section Historic Districts. The walk will conclude on vibrant 17th Street NW\, a short walk back to the Dupont Circle Metro station.
