A new exhibition at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is illuminating the often-overlooked history of the multicultural movement to confront poverty that redefined social justice and activism in America. Solidarity Now! 1968 Poor People’s Campaign, organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, opens March 30 at the Freedom Center. 

In the 1960s, the United States emerged as a global model of wealth and democracy, an estimated 25 million Americans lived in poverty – nearly 13% of the population. From the elderly and underemployed to children and persons with disabilities, poverty affected people of every race, age and religion. In response, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, led by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Rev. Ralph Abernathy, organized the Poor People’s Campaign as a national human rights crusade. Solidarity Now! features photographs, oral histories with campaign participants and organizers and an array of protest signs, political buttons and audio field recordings collected during the campaign.

“The civil rights movement of Dr. King is often thought of as a movement about race, but it was more. It was a movement about equity, about freedom – including freedom from hunger and want – for all people,” said Woodrow Keown, Jr. president and COO of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. “We’re proud to present Solidarity Now! to our community so we can show that equity was never about just some of us, but about all of us.”

Solidarity Now! explores the significance of the tactics and impact of the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign that drew thousands of people to build a protest community on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. For nearly six weeks they inhabited “a city of hope” on 15 acres between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial to call the nation’s attention to the crippling effects of poverty for millions of Americans. The protest site was called Resurrection City. Through a 3D map of Resurrection City, guests to Solidarity Now! can examine the planned spaces for housing, a cultural center, city hall, theater stage and essential services, including facilities for food and dining, sanitation, communications, education, medical and dental care and childcare.

Tell me there’s a new Italian restaurant opening in the vicinity, and I am there! Just a short drive up I-75 into a quaint little town called Middletown… Is a fabulous new destination called Primo Italian Strakhouse.  I’ve never been to Italy, but I am absolutely sure I just visited by the incredible ingredients and care put into each course by Chef Shawn Heine! Shawn and Nelson Castillo, Owner of Primo, recently returned from an expansive research trip through Italy, where they hand picked ingredients and fabulous wines… From the dried tomatoes, the different types of flour used for their homemade pastas, The incomparable pasta maker, Olive oil, charcuterie… even the stunning hand-blown water carafes for the Italian filtered water system! The care put into every ingredient and every dish is dynamic and so full of flavor!

Middletown… A city 35 minutes north of downtown Cincinnati, within 15 minutes of Cincinnati’s northern suburbs, and 15 minutes south of the Dayton area. There is a boom going on in the city… New businesses popping up every day, and with its’ convenient location, accessible to all.

Primo and the building are rich in history, from the spectacular etched glass windows, to the dark, inviting woodwork… makes for a seductive ambience throughout. The exclusive bourbon room with attached cigar patio will be fabulous! The location is sexy, tasteful… And the chandeliers are stunning!

Service was impeccable from start to finish, and the chef and wait staff, along with Nelson (always there to greet with a smile!) will give recommendations to be sure you have the best experience possible.
