Resurrection City Free University is so named to pay homage to Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's final major campaign in the Spring of 1968. Resurrection City was the physical encampment in Washington, D.C. of the Poor People's Campaign--a national movement to press our political leaders for an Economic Bill of Rights. 2008 is the Fortieth Anniversary of Resurrection City, and thus we have chosen it as a name for the Free University as a way to continue to work towards The Dream and to reopen our eyes to the prizes that have yet to come to fruition. Our goal is to provide educational opportunities that treat the DNC not end in and of itself, but as a means to strengthen our collective ability to transform and continue the national and global struggle for peace and justice. The University will teach on the ground tactics, strategies, and theory that can be utilized immediately at the Convention and ack in your own communities. The course schedules can be found through the links to the left. And don't worry, you don't have to register!
